jumper cables are worthless — use proper breadboard connections. this sounds minor but bad connections cause hours of debugging phantom issues. always ensure robustness (see [[intentionality]]).
-## connection to prototyping
-
-the breadboard-first approach is the hardware version of prototyping. "prototyping is so great" — whether it's a circuit or a codebase, getting something working fast lets you learn what you actually need to build.
+## the demo matters
having a pretty cool thing to show off and demo is very powerful. even a rough breadboard prototype gets people excited and provides feedback. see [[critical-path]] — the demo is often on the critical path even when polish isn't.
