Hi Roman, thank you for your perspective. I 100% agree that the goal should be to learn strategic coding fast and the problem of mindlessly typing code. I also think that many people are not even aware of the fact that strategic programming exists, and the reasons why they should be doing it.

I think under pressure many people resort automatically to the tactical style, and the number 80% is just to keep tab on that, and is more relevant to situations tightly bound by time.

If you don't mind I would like to incorporate the points you shared into the current post because I agree with you and I think it needs to be a part of the main post itself

What are your thoughts?

Sure! There is also another dichotomy I encountered: research vs industrial programming styles, so tactic vs strategic is not the only explanation for coding approaches.
