On 2024‑12‑09 I wrote a reminder for ML beginners to adopt a problem‑first mindset, emphasizing critical questions before writing code.

Decision: I emphasize asking key questions (why, success criteria, data quality) before coding to ensure responsible, impact‑driven machine‑learning work.

- ❓ Why does this problem matter?
- ❓ What does success look like?
- ❓ Is the data good enough to even solve this problem?
- Core mantra: “ML is not about ‘getting it to work’ but about solving real problems effectively and responsibly.”
