inMy coworker told me to just write the code, even if it's bad, and it actually worked
That advice can be a real trap... it just leads to more work later. A messy first draft creates a foundation you have to fix, and sometimes the bad parts get stuck in. Taking a minute to plan a cleaner structure from the start saves hours of cleaning up tangled code. I've had to rewrite entire sections because the rough version was built on a bad idea. Getting something down is important, but starting with a decent plan is better than starting with a mess.

inPSA: I did the Teton Crest Trail clockwise versus counter-clockwise last August
We went clockwise in late September and that afternoon sun was actually a gift. It warmed up the Death Canyon Shelf when the air was crisp, and we had Hurricane Pass to ourselves for sunset. The steep climb just meant we got the hard part done early with full energy.
