Listen "Exploratory coding when requirements are fuzzy"
Episode Synopsis
Joel and Aaron unpack a recent client project where the only spec was “make these two systems talk.” They share how console-level prototypes helped them clarify data mapping, test tricky scenarios, and keep the client looped in without over-building a UI. If you’ve ever had to code first and document later, this one’s for you.(00:00) - Bridging two APIs with minimal specs
(03:30) - Choosing an exploratory workflow over full UI
(06:00) - Console closures for quick, testable steps
(09:15) - Hand-off strategy: letting others poke the prototype
(11:45) - Silly bit
