The Small-Step Method of AI Development

AI tools can generate large amounts of code quickly, but that speed often becomes a liability when builders skip the discipline of incremental, verifiable progress. This episode explores why the most effective AI developers work in small, deliberate steps — validating each stage before moving forward. In an era where AI can produce an entire system in minutes, the small-step method is what separates working systems from impressive-looking failures. Produced by VoxCrea.AIThis episode is part of an ongoing series on governing AI-assisted coding using Claude Code.👉 Each episode has a companion article — breaking down the key ideas in a clearer, more structured way.
