So when you're getting ready to start a project, what do you do? Do you just sit down and start cranking out code, or do you take some time to plan things out? Some prefer one way, some prefer the other. What do you prefer and why? Discuss!

The Unix Philosophy and the Scrum Development Method don't seem to be too far at odds with each other. By acknowledging that user requirements can change, and having regular (seemingly short) iteration periods, developers are forced to go for the simplest, fastest, most reasonably effective solution. Likewise, the Unix Philosophy doesn't preclude working out algorithms and data structures, it just encourages getting up and running as fast as possible so that tinkering and refining can be done.
