ok, but if you don't have a lot of prior experience in this domain, how do you know your solution is good?

*zero experience
Short answer: No idea. Because I don't trust my existing sources of feedback.
Longer answer:
I've only gotten feedback from two sources...
AI (multiple models) and a friend that's a SWE.
Despite my best efforts to shut down AI's bias towards positive feedback - it keeps saying the work is ridiculously good and thinks I need to seriously consider a career change.
My friend - who knows my lack of experience - had a hard time believing I did the work. But he's not a believable source - since friends won't give you cold, hard feedback.
I'm thinking about sharing it on here when it's done.
