Ask HN: What should a stranger know first about your unfinished project?

If you could hand one of your unfinished projects to a stranger tomorrow, what's the one thing you'd want them to know first? Mine would be "the clever part is also the part that breaks."

Professional project? Try not to screw up or the banks of lead-acid batteries might catch fire and/or explode.
Personal project? Take all that you've learned in CS 101 and throw it into the trashbin; welcome to Mad Max-driven development, where ABIs are but a suggestion and you might accidentally end up presenting a poster at ACM CCS as a hobbyist (true story).

It features the fastest WebSocket library ever written, which means lower costs across the board.
