The method

Reduce features as building gets faster

Lower implementation cost makes protecting users' understanding more important.

When to use it

  • Prototypes expand rapidly and become hard to explain or test.

Ask yourself

  • AI codes quickly. Should we add more features?

Put it into action

  • Define one verifiable first task, remove unnecessary combinations, and observe real use before adding or rewriting.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Existing dependencies, data, and migration are not disposable. Check critical minority use cases before deleting a feature.
