Hemingway used to say "Write drunk, edit sober." I've modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:
Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.
Isn't it the inverse of that? And Hemingway always struck me as more of a "write drunk, edit buzzed" guy
Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.
