Throwaway alpha learning
Alpha work should be judged by what it teaches, not by whether the prototype survives into production.
正文
A prototype can be successful even if its code, interface, or concept is discarded. The value of alpha is the evidence it produces about which ideas are worth taking forward.
This is important for AI-assisted builders because generated artifacts can look polished quickly. The learning should be preserved, while weak implementations can be thrown away.
