Designers who code, do you draw mocks before coding or do you yolo it and jump into code first? I jump into code first. Probs slower as I have no idea what I’m going for but I think it helps me get to better solutions in the long run.

I used to jump right into code, especially if I had the feeling that the project was simple enough, or already defined in my mind. With time I realized that I work in different “modes”. Now depending on the project, I spend time out of code and focus on explorative design mode
Makes sense! I guess I tend to start creeping in features over time as I’m building .. maybe just a few small things here and there as I’m using the things I’m building. I guess is why I start with code first.. I get more inspired when I have something functional
