MY NEXT MINI PROJECT A practical notebook by Mark Faizi 1. The small problem What would I like to understand, make or fix? 2. A small enough version What is the simplest thing I could try first? 3. What I already have Tools, devices, notes and relevant experience. 4. What I need to find out List the questions before buying or building anything. 5. What I tried Keep a short log: attempt, observation, next step. 6. What actually happened What worked? What did not? What evidence do I have? 7. What I would do differently One useful lesson to keep for the next project. If using AI: check suggestions against real documentation and your actual results.
