What I got wrong

7 mistakes. Skip them.

1. Tweaked prompts, not context. Fix: brief like a teammate.
2. Started a new chat every time. Fix: edit, don't restart.
3. Tried to one-shot every answer. Fix: ask for 10 options.
4. Went deep too fast. MCP, custom hooks, agents. Fix: browser first, infrastructure later.
5. Trusted confident-sounding answers. Fix: end every research prompt with "flag anything you're unsure about."
6. Let it replace my taste. Fix: you pick what ships.
7. Didn't save anything. Fix: save it as a system.
