When picking up an agile ticket I can spend a good hour exploring the various possible solutions, and not typing any code: which is most performant? Which will be the most maintainable? Which will work best with with future features coming up?
Then maybe refactoring existing code to prepare for the new code, then refactoring afterwards to keep the code base clean. Often I will end up with fewer lines of code than when I started, but with a new feature added.Comment
