Shipping Small, Learning Fast
Large launches feel productive, but they hide feedback.
I prefer a cycle of tiny shippable units:
- Pick a narrow outcome.
- Ship the smallest end-to-end version.
- Watch real usage and errors.
- Iterate with evidence.
This keeps momentum high and risk low. It also gives writing material: each slice becomes a concrete story of problem, decision, and result.
If something is too large to explain in one paragraph, it is probably too large to ship in one pull request.
