Jon Kern:

For me, I chose to be pragmatic, NOT dogmatic. I chose to use my brain to do what makes the most sense in every circumstance, not a blind allegiance to a process for process’ sake. If barging forward and doing “design and coding” works best for you and your team to flesh out ideas, go for it. Just be sure to go back in and “do the right things” once you commit to an approach that is going to stay in the code base.
