Prototype Fast, Fail Faster

There's something liberating about throwing together a quick prototype and watching it crash and burn in user testing. Every failure teaches you something valuable about assumptions you didn't even know you were making.

Low-fidelity prototypes are your best friend early in the process. They're fast to build, easy to trash, and keep stakeholders focused on flow rather than pixel-perfect polish. Save the high-fidelity stuff for when you're confident the foundation is solid. Otherwise, you're just making beautiful garbage.
