Pro Tip 1/3Progressive Refinement
'Iterative' suggests making small changes until something improves over time.
Each iterative review of the essay made it clearer and more concise.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Instant
Using 'iterative' implies that achieving the final result will take several attempts, not just one.
Building an iterative understanding of complex topics might take a few classes.
Pro Tip 3/3Continuous Improvement

This iterative process of breaking through and attacking one problem and not feeling totally comfortable, and identifying the next problem, has helped us go along this path

Now we take those human demonstrations -- they're all noisy and imperfect -- and we extract from them an inferred task trajectory and control sequence for the robot. We then execute that on the robot, we observe what happens, then we adjust the controls, using a sequence of techniques called iterative learning.

and from that, we are able to build an average model, an iterative, refined model to recover the expression in fine details, like creases and wrinkles. What's fascinating about this is that the photo collection can come from your typical photos. It doesn't really matter what expression you're making

Edwin Catmull
American Scientist
Creativity has to start somewhere, and we are true believers in the power of bracing, candid feedback, and the iterative process - reworking, reworking, and reworking again until a flawed story finds its through line or a hollow character finds its soul.

Kameron Hurley
American Writer
Novel writing, like so many things in life, is an iterative process. You come at it again and again, working at it like you would a piece of pottery or a stone sculpture, chipping away the parts that don't make sense, smoothing over the rough edges.

John Collison
Irish Businessman
One of the myths you see in entrepreneurship is that people have this dream one night, wake up the next morning, and start building it. It's actually much more of an iterative process.
