What's the crack with building a wheel that's 3x on one side and 2x on the other?

I normally do the heads out spokes on both sides followed by the heads in but building it both sides at the same time like that I can't see how I'll get the different number of crosses on each side? Do I have to just build it one side at a time?

Build as usual, just keep in mind that the number of holes to offset when you insert the heads in spokes differs between sides.

Doesn't having the spokes already in place on the 2x side when I twist the hub for the 3x side mean that those shorter spokes are being pulled too far?

Does that make sense?
