The blind start

What you just did

Why it matters You have just solved (or tried) four problems alone. Before the lessons start, look at how you approached them. That is your starting map.

Look back over the compare panels you unlocked (a panel opens only once you pass). Each sealed answer was good code with one blind spot, and the blind spot was always written in the exercise: the chain rule, the read budget, the thousands of one-time clients, the refunds.

Whether you passed or not does not matter much yet. What matters is what you reached for first. The quiz below asks you to notice it.

Recap The four problems shared one shape: a plausible first answer, and one fact in the statement that defeats it.
