Hypothesis confirmed. Hypothesis rejected. New hypotheses formed.

One good thing about having a working proof of concept has been the ability to test what works and what doesn’t. It’s been a way to get quick feedback at a technical level.

Progress update? We could use this next week. Does it actually work?

One challenge about telling people you have a working prototype is that it creates expectations, and early tests have revealed the system is not ready for real world testing.

That would probably work, and I’ve known it for months. Why am I procrastinating on it?

One complication about getting technical is that it’s exciting to be working in that capacity, and exploring broadly is a way to prolong this phase of the project. I think I have a fear that I will have to give that part up again at some point, but maybe the thing I need to remind myself of is that I can always return to this phase just as I have now, and that other phases of the project will bring their own forms of enjoyment.
