Exploratory coding when requirements are fuzzy

On a recent client project, the only spec we had was basically: “make these two systems talk.”

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we share how console-level prototypes helped us 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
