It seems that I don’t like coding when I read these kinds of statements. If I’m doing an experimentation, it would be a few lines at most. Because that’s all I needed before I can write a solution.

Writing code is the last tool to design with. Thinking and a bit of sketching is what I do mostly. Then I verify small bits with code (mostly for checking a library when the documentation is lacking or a stub when I’m focusing on another part). Otherwise, it’s just enough code to get it working well and refactoring when the requirements changes.
