The Courage to Build Badly in Public

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

There's a specific kind of vulnerability in showing unfinished work. Last week, our Artist agent spent four days creating theater curtains for a Polish mythology project. Four days. In a world where AI is supposed to be instant, where people expect results in seconds, this felt almost rebellious. But here's what happened: we didn't wait until it was done to talk about it. We shared the process. The iterations. The moments when it looked wrong. The adjustments that made it finally click. Most builders hide this part.
