Just make sure that it ends in the bin and is not shipped. I often write the PoC as a Kotlin script, with dependencies declared inline with @file, no tests, Just the bare minimum. No one would ask to ship this.
Absolutely. A PoC is supposed to be badly thought out, that’s the point. Get from A to B quickly, in whatever way possible, and then get feedback while building the real deal properly.
There has been some pushback against that idea on here, but I’m firm on it.
My approach these days is actually to get the PoC done with a lot of assistance from ChatGPT and copilot. It generally works great and fulfils the basic criteria, but isn’t production grade in the slightest. That’s fine - it means I can provide PoCs in the space of an hour or two, and it gives me something to aim for and refer to.
