THE ART OF PROTOTYPING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Just because AI lets anyone spin up an app in minutes doesn't mean they understand prototyping - real prototyping is about asking the right questions, not just building things. The best prototypes are disposable tools designed to answer one specific question: does this solve a real problem (Role), does it feel right to use (Look and Feel), or can we actually build it (Implementation)? Pick one lens, build just enough to learn something, then throw it away.
