I had a stupid idea for a text editor where all the formatting controls were continuous and scrubbable, so you could have 30% bold -50% italic half-left-aligned. stupid and dumb!
You should certainly understand the inside of systems, but that understanding should not be attempted by either reading the code or by asking the AI for answers. Learn to rely on contextual deterministic tools instead.
Take a look at #MoldableDevelopment
If you’re not reading the code, whether explicitly or through agentic inquiry, one or more of these is true:
○ You’re a beginner
○ Software is throwaway
○ You’re prototyping
○ You have no users / revenue
○ You’re taking on debt & risk
○ Your problems are basic
And btw.
