Read the fine print.
This is not about 'edit' but preparation and paying attention to the surrounding.

Fine print? what fine print? :) This is exactly what this post is saying, edit your shot with your eye before you take the shot.

Wait a minute! Are you suggesting that I should pay attention to the lighting and composition before I take the shot?

I never knew :oops: Does this mean that I should take my camera off continuous high speed shutter release?
Joking aside, the OP should be words to live by.

Yes, sometimes looking though the viewfinder can ruin the moment. :)

Some people seem to be in the habit of photographing the entire scene, then figure out later how to crop the image into something meaningful. But when I'm photographing, I have a very good idea what I want to final image to look like and what I want it to say with it, and compose accordingly. When I crop during editing, it's usually very minimal. Shooting without a clear artistic vision and without putting effort into proper composition - for me, that would take most of the enjoyment out of photography.

This is accurate.
For a landscape or a still photograph, or where there is time, "edit before the shutter opens" is excellent advice. Composition is the most important thing.
But there are other types of photography. Let's take sports for example. Say your shooting a basketball game. You don't have time to edit before pressing the shutter. Preparation and paying attention are your only options to get both a good composition and that split second once in a lifetime moment.

Another factor is....other people. Either the people/person you are with or other people trying to get around you.
Being on your own in an area with few other people is conducive to well thought out photography. Being with family or friends or in a crowded area .....not so much.
