My workflow:

Program a new feature.
Draft a blog post announcing the feature.
Realize while writing the post that it would sound better if it also did this other cool thing, add that to the announcement post.
Go back and add that thing in code.
Ship it!

@sod Yes! I think that is really effective.

there’s a process, I think made famous by Amazon, where you write the press release before you write any code as part of the pitch process.

Sounds very much like my writing workflow!

try writing the blog post before building the feature, was a great takeaway from “Working Backwards” book.
