There’s a similarity between building an accessory selector and making a slide — What-is and what-could-be.
What-is is the tool We’re comfortable with. In my case, spreadsheets.
What-could-be requires thinking at 100x.
I found a front-end design plugin on Claude Code. Prompted a prototype. Worked backward from it. Somewhere at 60–70%, I had enough clarity on the end result that the spreadsheet columns became easier to figure out.
New tools challenge our ego. Our what-is.
Think at scale. There might be a what-could-be nearby.
