Now I&#8217;ve distilled those ideas into code, and the next few steps are much more murky.  I know if I wait, the ideas will firm up and I&#8217;ll get a better idea how to design things.  This is one of the reasons coding as a hobby is more fun than coding for a living.  Your average boss isn&#8217;t going to want you to take a couple of days off to screw around while you design the thing in your head.
