There are definitely cases where forward chaining is better than backward chaining. I would say that my example of coming up with risk-driven development of taking a data engineering project and identifying that the most likely risk was actually the libraries and not the user interface,I would say that's forward chaining. So maybe you could talk us through like how do you do forward chaining or what's kind of a good procedure for doing forward chaining? Like maybe you walked it, walked us through the process.

What is risk-driven development? How should we weigh advice, best practices, and common sense in a domain? What makes some feedback loops better than others? What's the best way to take System 2 knowledge and convert it to System 1 intuition? What are forward-chaining and backward-chaining? When is it best to use one over the other? What are the advantages and disadvantages of centralization and decentralization?
