jherr Development Workflow

A systematic approach to building software iteratively, inspired by Jack Harrington (jherr) and the classic software development principle.

Core Philosophy

Development should happen in three distinct phases:

1. Make it work - Get a working solution first
2. Make it right - Refactor and improve code quality
3. Make it fast - Optimize for performance when needed

Each phase has different priorities and success criteria. Moving to the next phase too early causes problems.

Phase 1: Make It Work

Goal: Create a minimal working solution that demonstrates the feature works end-to-end.
