When to Use Advanced Patterns
Use these patterns when:
You’ve completed the 30-min and 2-hour challenges
Your project has 3+ external integrations
You need background processing or scheduled jobs
You’re building complex state machines
You need advanced error recovery strategies
Don’t use these yet if:
You haven’t completed the basic challenges
Your project is straightforward (1-2 APIs, simple flows)
You’re still learning the 5-Round methodology
You’re building your first AI-assisted project
The 5-Round Planning Method works for both simple and complex projects. The difference is in execution, not planning.
