Compare the preserved Carrd beginning with the coded versions that followed.
Compare versionsThe principle
Keep your thinking in the loop
AI can help expand the space around a question. It cannot take responsibility for what you believe, choose or publish.
Think first
Start with your own question and initial view.
Challenge assumptions
Look for missing evidence and reasonable alternatives.
Verify important facts
Use reliable sources when the answer matters.
Remain responsible
AI can assist your reasoning, but it does not make the choice.
Visible progress
The first version is still part of the story
The Carrd beginning and the first two coded releases are preserved so the project can show real change, including the rough edges, not just the latest result.
