> Still I totally agree that getting paralyzed is a big problem, it's way better to program something "the wrong/inefficient/bad way" rather than to program nothing.

I'd argue that this depends on the situation. If you're writing code that needs to meet a deadline but also needs to be supported months/years from now, there are considerations and the possibility that you'd have been better off not writing the code before learning about at least the reasonining behind the existing alternative

Still, I'm with you on GTD being my personal preference in most situations.

Definitely agree with that, it's a tough balance between code quality and efficiency. But at least as a beginner that is trying to learn new things, you usually don't have to worry much about things being supported later on compared to just getting something out there/working and improving as you go along.
