# Jack It Up Iterative development cycle that prioritizes getting it right over getting it done. Each phase builds on the last, and review cycles continue until the work scores a 10/10 — not just functional, but polished. ## The Mindset The goal is NOT to finish the work. The goal is to do the work perfectly. ```dot digraph mindset { "Just ship it" [shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=lightcoral, label="Getting it done\n(wrong mindset)"]; "Is this excellent?" [shape=diamond]; "Ship it" [shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=lightgreen, label="Ship it\n(right mindset)"]; "Refine" [shape=box, label="Refine further"]; "Is this excellent?" -> "Ship it" [label="yes — genuinely"]; "Is this excellent?" -> "Refine" [label="no"]; "Refine" -> "Is this excellent?"; } ``` Be inquisitive, not just task-completing. Ask "is this the best way?" at every stage. This is NOT scope creep — it is thoroughness. The difference: scope creep adds features nobody asked for; thoroughness ensures the requested features work flawlessly. ## Red Flags — Stop and Refocus These thoughts mean the work is drifting toward "just get it done": | Thought | What to do instead | |---------|-------------------| | "This is good enough" | Run /dc. If it finds issues, it's not good enough. | | "Let me skip the review, it's simple" | Simple things break in subtle ways. Review it. | | "I'll fix that later" | Fix it now. "Later" means "never." | | "The tests pass, we're done" | Tests passin
