Stop wrestling with bloated AI prompts and build features users actually want.
Steps:
• Build the MVP: Create core functionality with basic data models and CRUD operations
• Enhance with validation: Add input checks, error handling, and user experience improvements
• Expand capabilities: Add related features like editing, deleting, or notifications within the same scope
• Refine the polish: Improve UI/UX, mobile responsiveness, and visual consistency for production
Gotchas:
• Don't try to build everything at once—AI works best with focused, incremental tasks
• Avoid expanding beyond one feature per cycle or you'll break unrelated code
Do this today:
• Pick one feature idea and write down the core user scenario in one sentence
• Define the absolute minimum version (just the essential action)
• Create a simple data model with 3-4 fields maximum
