The Extreme Progaramming methodology tries to strike a balance between creative exploration/intuition and structured planning/design. A good intro for Perl people is ExtremePerl, here's a quote of the core values of XP, expressed in Perlish tounge: Laziness means you work hard to look for the simplest solution and that you communicate efficiently. You don't want to misunderstand what someone said which might cause you to do more work than you have to. Impatience encourages you to do the simplest thing that could possibly work. You use the code to communicate your understanding of the problem to the customer, because you don't like sitting through long, boring meetings. Hubrisis courage born from the fear your code will be too complex for others to understand. Hubris makes you strive for positive feedback and to react quickly to negative feedback from your peers, the computer, and the customer.
