The first paragraphs of the “Backwards Chaining” section of the post is exactly the place where abstract instructions can be helpful, but concrete step-by-step instructions of the technique are arguably even more important for learning to do the thing in the first place. You appear to attempt to ameliorate this by including examples of things you could apply this to. However I think [93%] this isn’t as helpful as walkthroughs of the technique imo.
For example, you could include examples of problems you had to solve, and used this technique on, what it felt like to use the technique, what the actual process and results were, etc.
I say this because I think [89%] you’re onto something really helpful as a problem solving tool, but as it stands it’s hard (not impossible) to extract practical value from the instructions (ie I’m asking you to assume good faith on the part of my criticism).
Thanks for making the post, I got a pretty large amount of value out of it.

Thanks, I think that’s a totally-valid critique. Let me mull over how to better dissect this.
