No. That reads like "it's a good idea to think about not making
problems for ourselves before coding."
For many software issues in general, we can’t actually say that we’ve
resolved them (see your ‘preferably resolved’ above) without having a
solution in place, coded and tested. That’s part of what makes writing
software interesting; the implementation is the detailed design.
Why does that [what you originally wrote, not your paraphrase] make
you
uncomfortable?
It’s hostile--at least on the collaborative level--to a style of coding that
moves piece by piece, going back to fix mistakes made originally when they
become clear.
