My first attempt had much scribbling of designs before coding started. However, I learnt so much from implementing the design that it immediately became clear that I could do better, so... back to the drawing board. Major sections of Blikskottel have been rewritten, more than once - and it's still on the weak side of mediocre, with lots *more* learning - and rework - to come. I think this kind of iterative approach is typical. With most applications programming, it's OK to have a "good enough" implementation. With chess, you have to keep working to inch closer and closer to perfection - it's never just going to pass a UAT and that's it.
