Taste is trainable
Why it matters When the AI can write any of the options, the valuable skill is choosing between them. Choosing well starts with knowing how you choose.
Engineering judgment often feels like instinct: "that design feels wrong". Instinct is fine, but you cannot check it, explain it to a colleague, or improve it while it stays a feeling.
This module turns it into something you can look at:
- You already made 12 design picks in Map the default (round 1).
- Now you write down the principles you believe you hold, from a fixed list. The course uses them to predict your round 1 picks. If they predict badly, either your principles or your picks are not what you thought.
- Then you see the same 12 choices again in disguise (round 2) and find out how often you agree with yourself.
Consistency: how often you make the same choice when the same question comes back in different words. It measures whether your judgment is stable, not whether it is right.
None of these pairs has a right answer. Good engineers disagree on most of them, and the context in your head decides. The mirror never marks a pick right or wrong. It only shows you to yourself.
Recap Write your principles down, test them against your own picks, and look at where they disagree.
