I just pull them as soon as I see them, and never let them go to seed.

If you are starting from lawn, use a sod cutter to remove all the grass,
and you can end up with a fairly weed free bed.

I _try_ to do that, but with ~1000 sq ft of garden it's easy to miss the
small ones. By now (30+ years) the selection pressure has led to the
smallest, fastest, most prolific weeds
