I find the back and forth more productive. Lots of up front requirements and docs is like waterfall. You do everything up front and don't realize until implementation time that the design is unclear, has flaws and contradictions, etc.

Often it feels more efficient to take shorter steps, try something in code, we how it looks, update docs, show a demo, etc. That was true before LLMs and I think LLMs make it even more true.
