i don't disagree and share a similar sense of romanticism about being close to the code, but can't help but feel the scale and sophistication of what software could be possible in the future -- assuming we'll have Fable+ level models running at 1,000+ tok/s (and i think this is conservative given the pace of things) -- is going to be far too fascinating and high altitude to want to bother with what we typically think of now as 'the code'. it will still be 'code' in the sense that we'll still likely be influencing/participating in encoding behavior in an executable format, but remote enough from what we consider 'coding' that it'd resemble moving from hand-welding logic gates to coding in Ruby.
@_chenglou This is how I'm reducing the cognitive load
Every time an agent explores your code base it builds up its own mental model of how the code works, and then throws that model away when the session ends. Code walkthroughs turn that model it into a step-by-step guide to bring you up to speed on any part of the system.
Anything can be a walkthrough. It's just a views: walkthrough entry in the Markdown front matter and then every ## Subheading becomes its own step
Atelier walkthroughs can use the Chrome MCP in Claude Code to build UI walkthroughs with live screenshots of the app. Grounding the walkthrough in execution exposes gaps in the implementation that you wouldn’t catch with code review.

@mattrickard Get the agent to walk you through it's changes

Too many developer tools are being built around one broken idea; I don't see any new tool with a different concept; > That humans should stare at agent logs all day. That is not leverage. That is cognitive overload. I hope someone is doing a study of that or maybe in 50 years people will call us stupids. Developers should not babysit agents. They should define intent, review outcomes, and move faster. I have to change that.
@IanArawjo Everyone always want to do the One Giant Graph but smaller contextual subgraphs are much more useful IMO x.com/hamiltonulmer/…
Chatted w/ the creator of d3-dag about a topological rank operator to enable pre-sorting nodes, and the feature just landed. Makes it possible for me to create DAG minimaps for Rill Developer! Here's a sketch of a query DAG navigator in a @sveltejs repl svelte.dev/repl/83b44d5d5…
I sketched this out a few years ago. The HTML vs Markdown debate is conflating substrate with information density. The real question is what kind of feedback an artifact actually invites. Hi-fi invites parameter critique. Lo-fi invites paradigm critique.
GenAI is good at producing a result. But early-stage design is not about a single result —it is about exploring possibilities. Our #DIS2026 paper “IdeaBlocks” won an Honorable Mention 🏆 We ask: how can designers express not only what to generate, but how to explore? (1/n)
@poteto I've been thinking about this too. Leverage comes from operating at higher-perspective decision points narphorium.com/blog/decision-…

@bradneuberg @ComputerHistory More interactive computer history: theverge.com/2023/1/29/2357…
Now, with vibe coding we don't even do that. The agent is often the only one with a mental model of the code, and it throws it away after each session.
I feel like over the years, we've sort of given up documenting our mental models of code and just accepted that everyone who reads the code builds their own model from scratch.
In 1985 Peter Naur argued that a program is more than just its source code. "Programming As Theory Building" explained how we build theories of the code which help us debug and refactor it but those theories rely on knowledge from outside of the code. pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf
