Where Do You Doodle?

I just don't have the same process as Adam Howitt when he explains how he designs an AJAX application. He works from design mockups, then considers functionality, then codes it up. I always start with code and work back from that.

To each his or her own process, but it feels more natural to me to start with code, even when dealing with interaction design. Computers are, afterall, just working from text themselves.

I remember reading in college about the writer Flannery O'Connor just sitting down and writing some dialogue or a descption from a scene, and then suddenly the fiction had a life of its own and she just followed along. For me, design and development works much the same.
