banging out

Rapidly churning through

Banging out means producing something quickly, often in quantity and without excessive care for polish: I've been banging out emails all morning, She banged out three articles before lunch.

The phrase suggests rapid, somewhat mechanical work—getting things done rather than crafting them.

Musicians bang out tunes on instruments; writers bang out copy on deadline.
