You don't know whether it's working until you know what it does. You appear to be confusing "writing down roughly what you're doing and figuring out approximately how it might work before you start writing code" with "writing the spec up-front". Writing code before you know what problem that code is trying to solve is even worse than writing a spec first and coding from that. -- Ciaran McCreesh
