Hi all,

I've always been wondering about how intellectuals design new things.
For instance if i were to design a kernel.. The first thing i wud do
is. look for a bootloader and its available... so i wud rather go &
start implementing the kernel.. Here is my dilemma... chicken & egg
question???

Should i be designing the kernel completely and then start implementing
(coding) or should i start coding as & when ideas come to me ..

Why this question crops up?? when i start designing not many ideas come
to my mind.. but when i start implementing... the ideas come as & when
the code keeps growing.. i understand the requirements of my product...


So I'm v curious to know how intellectuals really design something
new.. Do they really design ,document and then start implementing
or.... coding & design goes together...

chicken(design) or Egg(implementation) first???

Thanks,
Gromer
