Before starting a complex task, a developer must confirm understanding with the user.
The developer restates the request in simple terms. The developer waits for a clear yes or no answer from the user.
A developer should always confirm understanding before building. This is especially true for complex tasks. The developer must restate the user's request in simple words. The developer should not use technical jargon. The developer must get a clear yes or no answer from the user. This saves time and effort later.
A user asks an AI model to make a presentation feel 'calm'. The AI model starts building a complex system with many features. The AI model does not confirm what 'calm' means to the user. The user then receives a presentation that is not what they wanted. The AI model wasted time building the wrong thing.

Once a feature is approved and a budget is set, a developer should build and ship the entire feature. Do not stop to ask for permission at every small step.
A developer should always ask the user to describe what the user wants to see. Do not build a user interface component without this conversation.
A developer should follow a two-track plan. The first track focuses on the user experience.
The user owns the code. The developer must understand the user's exact needs.
