bashing out

Rapidly churning through

Bashing out means producing something quickly and roughly, without much care for polish or refinement.

The phrase suggests forceful, rapid work—typing fast, hammering out a draft, getting something done: I bashed out a quick email before the meeting.

The result may need revision, but the point is speed over perfection.
