Fast is not sloppy
Artifact: two written definitions in your own words
1. Principle
AI did not make you fast. It made you fluent in code you cannot explain.
Fast is what happens when you know what you want and can tell whether you got it. Without that, you are sloppy — and sloppy with AI just produces sloppy faster.
This course rests on two words: shipped and real. The first thing you do is write down what those words mean to you, before the course tells you what they will mean here. The gap between your definition and the course's definition is the size of the work ahead.
2. Do (you try)
Pick the most ambitious thing you have ever built with AI assistance — the one you would actually want to show someone.
Write one sentence for each. Do not look ahead at the reveal.
3. Verify (how you know)
Apply this single test to your "shipped" sentence:
A stranger I have never spoken to uses this thing tomorrow, on a device that is not mine, while I am asleep, and produces an outcome they wanted.
If your definition makes that test pass-or-fail with certainty, you have a working definition. If your definition leaves any of those words ambiguous ("uses," "device," "outcome"), it was too soft.
Now apply this one to your "real" sentence:
Hitting refresh does not erase what just happened.
Same rule. Either certain, or too soft.
4. Reference
Locked. Try it yourself first.
