Prototyping with code
summary
The talk examines the limits of strict requirements/spec documents in product development, arguing that rigid adherence to technical specifications can block innovation and kill startups. It proposes a balanced approach called "prototyping with code": shift from pure order-takers to researchers who embrace uncertainty, use code prototypes to explore ideas, and thus plan development while keeping flexibility and team sanity.
