Learn-Driven Development

Minimum Viable Practice

Run your first learning loop in a week.

You don't need perfect implementation to start. Begin with one loop:

  1. Pick one hypothesis. Something you genuinely want to learn. Something small enough to test in a week.
  2. Frame it. One page: the question, why it matters, what success looks like, learning horizon.
  3. Slice it thin. What's the smallest version that answers the question?
  4. Build it (with or without agent help).
  5. Validate it (with customers or data).
  6. Decide on the next loop.

That's it. You've done one loop.

If you're a solo builder: Do that ten times, and you'll have a discipline that most vibe coders never develop. You'll start noticing the difference between "I shipped something" and "I learned something." That's the shift.

If you're on a team: Do one loop together. PM, engineer, designer, whoever is available. Watch what happens when everyone is looking at the same evidence instead of arguing about the backlog. Do it ten times, and you've changed how the team thinks about progress.
