@geoffreylitt This is related to the idea of programming as theory building I think. I've found I can get into a good flow when I push towards very tight feedback loops. Only allowing llm to take small steps at a time. This allows me to build a mental model 'with' the llm.

Adding is easy, because adding isn't changing.

Changing is hard because it requires untangling all the stuff that's already in there to know how it works.

when we recommend things to each other, I wish it was standard procedure to be upfront about the costs and tradeoffs. it’s common to see social media users “sell” products, methods, frameworks or habits without ever mentioning the downside. example:

marcel's talk has had me thinking about the broader range of how programming could steal from sequential art, particularly in an expository sense. reviewing mcclouds taxonomy of transitions, Subsequently mostly draws on action-to-action [...]

I gave a keynote at IWACO, "Explaining and Visualizing Rust's Ownership Model". I do a deep dive into how we designed and iterated on the borrow checker visualization.

This project attempts to poke at the boundaries of this space. I hope it inspires you to rethink what truly visual programming could be.
