Measure twice, cut once is a good guideline.
I learned desk checking my code (and other people's code) early in my career when computer time was expensive and I had to wait to run my code. I still do a lot of desk checking. I find that process helps me understand the code and data structures better. After a while it becomes second nature, you can learn to "run" code in your head.
