Series: Vibe Coding with Uncle Forrest* — Hey Londyn, this one’s for you.
You know how your drawings get way better when you tell me the story first? Same move here.
When I write overview.md, I’m basically talking to myself:
“Okay Forrest, what are we making? Why? Who’s it for? What won’t we do yet?”
Before code comes thought. Before thought comes story.
And AI listens better when you are clear. That’s why the first line of code is actually your first sentence about the code.
Tiny habit: I write the goal, constraints, and success criteria in plain English. Then the code almost writes itself. Almost. 😄
