We should be prototyping more. Plans, specs, etc. are helpful, but there’s nothing like actually trying something out.The investment in a prototype used to be substantial. Now you can just kick one off and give it a try. Any lessons or shortcomings can be fed back into the spec.You can, of course, iterate on a “one shot,” but the end result is rarely as clean as if it had been done right the first time.
