Completely agreed. If your ideas are too bad, you should just give up.
But if they're basically fine and you're just waiting for inspiration
to strike from above, you might as well get on with it. If it turns
out that you've broken something, well, that sucks, but it's still
better to get that out of the way in January ... or November ... or
August ... rather than waiting until March or April.
