How to protect the data integrity? You can simply use multiple layers of data integrity validations. Do not rely on the single user interface. Create validations on front-ends, back-ends, network communications, and databases. If that is not an option, then you have to at-least use database-level constraints.

Programming is mostly about reading previous code, researching what is needed and how it fits with the current system, and planning the writing of features with small, testable increments. The actual writing of lines of code is probably only 10% of the whole process.

Samer Buna

Do not think about programming as writing lines of code. Programming is a logic-based creativity that needs nurturing.

Planning before jumping into code is a good thing, but even good things can hurt you when you do too much of them. Too much healthy water might poison you.
