Prototype. Ship. Amend. Repeat.

Read Original

This article discusses a common pitfall in software development: creating overly complex, generic abstractions before solving the actual problem. The author advocates for a 'Prototype, Ship, Amend, Repeat' approach, where developers first build a working prototype, ship it, and then refactor based on real-world usage, leading to more robust and practical code.
