Planning Before Coding

13 May, 2026

My senior said,

Doing the best at every single task, especially in the planning phase. Planning is harder than the coding or the algorithm itself.

Such things we'd do on the planning phase :

• How we assess the plus and minus of every option
• How the code change plan would look like
• What impacts or risks might arise

So from here, we can see how big the effort and risk would be.

So, planning before coding is damn important.
