Absolutely agree.

It would be great to have kind of design stages.
0) Bare idea, feature scope, use cases.
1) Preliminary architecture and API. Here we can start writing and
reviewing code.
2) Detailed understanding of architecture and API. Writing code, testing,
detailed discussing, debugging.
3) Merging feature into master, debugging.
