irvinebroque · x · 2026-07-19
This post highlights a practical AI coding and product planning tip: when working on high-level plans, use the Amazon-style working backwards approach—write the user-facing release notes first, then start building.
This helps uncover edge cases early, clarifies priorities, and produces copy that's ready for the actual launch. The author notes that while this was always a good practice, AI makes it much easier today.
