I completely agree. Start with what works, rough, understand it a bit deeper develop better solutions. Any trial-error, brute force or inelegant makes more natural for practioner. I think this aligns with George Pólya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It book. The brute force is more productive and will build better intuition when you will realize the pattern and so elegant will come.
