Iteration

What this is

Iteration means improving a project through repeated small passes.

In Vibe Coding:

Setting

first output = draft
second pass = better
third pass = usable

Why it matters

AI rarely gets the final answer right on the first try.

The real skill is not one-shot generation. The real skill is testing, judging, and improving.

What to do

After each AI output:

  1. Run or preview the result.
  2. Check whether it matches the goal.
  3. Name one thing to improve.
  4. Ask for one correction.
  5. Test again.

Improvement prompt:

Improve this section:
- cleaner UI
- better spacing
- keep it simple

Common mistakes

  • Expecting the first output to be final.
  • Rebuilding the whole page instead of improving one part.
  • Not testing between changes.
  • Keeping code the learner cannot explain.
