The value of a prototype is in the insight it imparts, not the code being written. Prototyping lets us fail fast and cheap, or get the data to make a concrete decision on direction. It helps answer the question, "What happens if we try this?" Most significantly, prototyping provides us with the guardrails to safely and productively fail. Failure is an integral part of the process of learning.
