Can someone explain the practical difference between architecture and the playlist in real life?

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and java seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Start by reducing it to the smallest reproducible piece, then change one variable at a time. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Write down the exact error and the input that caused it.
- Make a tiny example, then add pieces back slowly.
- Keep the final fix boring and well-named.

That should give you a solid first pass.
