Building Nogic, graph developer tool for developers and AI agents @fdotinc

[Davel Radindra @Davelloper]

Do you vibecode? "yes"

Do you let Claude Code add 2000 lines of codes? "yea.."

Does it work? "maybe... sometimes"

Do you understand what's going on? "no"

This is a common issue for people that often likes to ship fast on features or even an entire MVP. Developers are often kept out of the loop on whatever vibe coding tool they use.

Software Engineers are NOT coders, we are problem solvers. Having a mental model whenever coding agents generates code is crucial to understand whether it is solving the problem we want.

This is a problem that I want to solve, which is why I started building Nogic. At its state currently, it's an IDE extension that visualizes your codebase at a low level so you can see how everything ties in together. What file imports what, what functions calls what, what class inherits what, what objects is getting instantiated and where.

the tab pops up whenever claude code generates/edit an html btw

[Davel Radindra @Davelloper]

claude code generates html a lot for me (codebase flowcharts, PR summaries, study guides, UI mockups). going back and forth with follow up prompts got tedious for me so I've been using a local tool I made for myself.

If anyone share the same problem, feel free to give it a go!

@ycombinator @conductor_build the weird part is review becomes the job. running 5 agents is easy, trusting which diff to merge at 1am is the actual product lol

[Davel Radindra @Davelloper]

Can someone make a tool that resurfaces all the assumptions coding agents make that's outside the context it has lol

Don't delegate understanding

There is a parasite, I see it everywhere. It consumes your health and wealth. It preys on ignorance and is easy to catch. It’s so common you may not even notice you have it.

The parasite has a simple and attractive proposition: let me take care of this hard thing for you. Trust me, I know better.

Instead of understanding it yourself, you choose to give the parasite control over your health, education, money, housing, business, identity, data, infrastructure, climate, justice. Even your beliefs.

The parasite has three stages: acceptance, extraction, intervention.

First is acceptance. Everyone else seems to have the parasite already. You are expected, even encouraged, to accept the parasite into your life. You are invited to follow the norm, outsource, consume. It’s okay! Use all the services and amenities. Satisfy your desires. Eat the cheap food, watch the cheap media. Your money and time are meant to be spent. Show off what you got in exchange. Please do not try to understand how it works, it’s too complicated for you. The parasite wants you fattened. Literally and figuratively. You are paying the parasite for the privilege of being ripened.

Second is extraction. Under the influence of the parasite, you have developed unhealthy habits and you are suffering the consequences. Stress, anxiety, obesity, disease, ignorance, fear, lethargy, decay. To dampen these problems you pay the parasite for help — support, medicine, loans, fines, rent, taxes. Enforcement of some homeostasis. You try to abate the issues, but you don’t have a stable foundation to build on. You have ignored the root causes. The parasite thrives. You are paying the parasite to be harvested, milked, sucked dry.

Third is intervention. The side effects of the parasite’s extraction have reached a critical level. The parasite tells you it’s an emergency. You need doctors, lawyers, firefighters, a military effort. You’re in a surgery room, a court room, a psychiatric ward, a jail cell. The disease can no longer be controlled, it has festered. The flame has turned into a raging fire that needs to be put out. You are paying the parasite to go back to square one.

The three stages of the parasite are interdependent. Every stage benefits someone who is not you. Everyone tells you this is just the way it is. Never mind that the parasite is living large.

Why? Extraction and intervention pay well. Education and prevention do not. The incentives are aligned to make the parasite persuasive. You are alone against a coordinated system that is exceedingly effective at packaging problems you should never have with solutions you should never need. A symbiotic loop.

You must recognize the parasite in its earliest form.

To inoculate yourself don’t delegate understanding. If you build your own understanding you will be the one who earns the dividends.
