Software design for entirely new products, termed "zero-to-one" work, differs significantly from iterating on existing ones. This distinction is crucial because standard design tools often assume a pre-existing problem or user need, which is not the case in "technology push" scenarios where a new capability seeks a problem to solve. The author suggests that filmmaking concepts, particularly the Spanish term "montaje" (assembly), offer a more fitting framework for this type of constructivist design process, where meaning emerges from combining disparate elements rather than simply refining an existing idea.
