Why it matters

A useful build starts with a clear decision. Define the first complete experience a real person can finish.

Build it

Make the smallest version visible, ask what a real person needs next, and leave the surrounding system simpler than you found it.

Practice

Write down one concrete change you can make today. Keep the scope small enough to finish before your next interruption.

Next

Carry that evidence into the next lesson instead of adding work by instinct.
