📖 Today’s lesson

Lesson 5: Structure is a separate job from writing.

Models are unusually strong at imposing order on unstructured input. Feeding in raw, messy notes and asking for a structure is one of the highest-value moves available to a student.

Why this matters: Most people write and structure simultaneously, and do both badly. Separate them: get the skeleton right while it is still cheap to change, then write the thing once.
