Naur’s theory of programming has always felt right to me. Once you known everything about the current implementation, planning and decision making can be done really fast and there’s not much time lost on actually implementing prototypes and dead ends (learning with extra steps).
It’s very rare to not touch up code, even when writing new features. Knowing where to do so in advance (and planning to not have to do that a lot) is where velocity is. AI can’t help.
