Test Until It Breaks
Failure testing isn’t about destroying your work — it’s about learning where and how it fails so you can improve it. Engineers call this “failure data,” and it’s one of the most valuable forms of feedback.
Early failure helps you avoid late-stage disasters. The best engineers test early, fail small, and revise quickly. Your prototype's weakness today is your insight for tomorrow.
Use your current prototype and run a small-scale test. Drop it, twist it, stretch it — safely. What breaks? What holds? What would you redesign before the final version?
