Pick a problem you care about
Pick a problem you care about. Pick a problem you care about. We cannot stress this enough.
Why? Because the essence of Moldable Development is about adapting the environment to match the context. If you do not have a deep context, you cannot evaluate what contextual tools do for you. Pick a problem you care about.
What kind of problems? There can be many.
Go beyond the technology
Glamorous Toolkit is an environment that shows how the experience of programming can be, but ultimately it's still just a piece of technology. Moldable Development is more than technology. It requires new skills. But even more important is that Moldable Development introduces a new feedback loop that has far reaching consequences, both on the technical and the business level. Use the technology, but focus on learning how to think about programming anew.
Engage with the community
Learning is more fun together with others. More productive, too.
