Decomposing a big feature into a chain of small prompts.
Sam's describe step is sharp now: specs with examples, context fed cleanly. Time, she decides, to cash it all in.
She types: "Build me a complete reading-tracker app: add books, mark them finished, star ratings, a stats page, and it should remember everything between visits." One message, whole app. Before the reply arrives: call it.
Check your intuition
What does "build me an app" actually get her?
Sam has seen this in hiring too: nobody staffs a ten-person team with one job advert. You hire the first role, get them productive, and let what you learn shape the next hire.
Code works the same way. The unit of progress isn't the app, it's the chunk: a piece small enough to read every line, run it, and test it before the next one starts. One full lap of the loop per chunk. Watch the blob become buildable.
