Big asks, big messes
In plain English
Asking AI for a whole app in one go is like asking a builder to finish a house overnight with no plan. You'll get something, but when a wall is crooked you won't know which step caused it.
Small steps give you three superpowers:
- You can check each one. A 20-line change is easy to test and read.
- You know what broke. If step 4 fails, the problem is in step 4.
- You can go back. Save a working version after every step (a checkpoint).
