This are called Tracer Bullets in the book "The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and Dave Thomas. They advocate:
Users get to see something early on.
Developers build a structure to work in.
You have an integration platform.
You have something to demonstrate.
You have a better feel for progress.
As a solo founder I need working code, that I can put out of mind, while I produce more.

- tjpick 16y agoI know this as top-down programming.
