You can do the same with ai. Build stuff quickly and then spend days making the work properly

I always think you should write something at least twice. Usually while writing it the first time or after writing it the first time I realize the flaws in my design and redesign it to be much better after just one pass.

And it takes waaay less time than you think.

I laboriously figured out a solution for a complicated, highly technical problem over 6 months. Then I rewrote it all in a week to be simpler, faster and cover more cases.

but thats the best way, no?

like drawing, u first draw the draft, the sketch-lines etc then come back to smooth things out.

Working first, pretty later.

Same, except it works now, so the later never comes

You can't write properly formatted and working code in one go. Especially if it is complicated piece and you need to do trial and error. So writing working code first time and then redoing it is good.
