Fucking seconded. I wish more people did this. But NOOOOOOOOOO, they think they're 1337 or something. Or shit, at least when you're done, go back and do a total rewrite once you know how everything fits together. By which I don't mean spell check, I mean trash the entire original and rewrite the entire goddamn thing. Remember elementary English class and the Rough Draft/First Draft/Second Draft/Third Draft/Final Draft? Same thing.

But that takes time. I usually just start from scratch, and keep improving it...

That'll lead to unreadable spaghetti code. Any program of substantial size should be designed before hand in pseudo code.

If it was hard to code, it should be hard to read.

Spaghetti code!
Reminds me of a final project I did in HS back when they taught QBasic... and I wrote an airline seat reservation program.
12 pages printed out, got an A on it because it works.... even though the comment on the returned printout said that the grader had no idea how it worked :D
