The author challenges the traditional approach of seamlessly transitioning from a design doc to clean code implementation. They advocate for a more iterative process of coding binges, utilizing draft PRs for documentation and alignment, and being willing to discard initial ideas. The author emphasizes the importance of organizational knowledge gained through prototyping and the need for discipline in the development process. They argue that design docs can be useful in certain cases but can also be misused, slowing down the process or becoming outdated quickly. Overall, the author suggests that coding speaks louder than words and encourages creating discipline within the organization to prioritize efficiency and practical implementation over extensive planning.
