Why You Godda Love Prototyping
Remember the old days when people used to create physical models before building the real thing? Yeah, we’ve come a long way since then. In the digital world, we call these models “prototypes.” They’re basically trial-and-error experiments. Interestingly, in some languages, “prototype” actually translates to “making mistakes on purpose.” I’m kidding, of course…but isn’t it a fun idea?
Prototypes, essentially, let you play around with your ideas before finally building the actual product. The beauty of prototyping lies in its forgiving nature. You can mess up and not worry about it—one of the few places where mistakes can lead to a standing ovation!
