From Research Notes to Shipped Features

I used to keep research and coding as separate tracks. That made progress feel slow and disconnected.

Now I run a short loop: define a hypothesis, build the smallest testable prototype, record outcomes, and decide whether to iterate or discard.

This process keeps exploration disciplined while still moving quickly. It also creates useful documentation by default.

The result is better decision quality and less time spent building things that do not survive first contact with users.
