I code similarly to how I write, which is similar to how I draw etc. I start with very rough ideas and sketches, then I gradually iterate over those, refining ideas and throwing bits away. And eventually I have a working version/first draft/etc
I just can't get things done if I were to try and think of the entire solution first before getting anything down on paper. Maybe that's an ADHD thing, needing to let the idea take form lest it runs away and I get lost in the weeds
It's less "spewing tons of code" though and more starting with an outline, stub functions and comments to break up the steps before filling those out.
