My side project is now codebase explainability. I basically don't buy the premise that we just have to give up on comprehension as code generation scales; I just think that text is too limited by itself. So going a step deeper than asking Claudex "teach me this project", but having it produce a navigable snapshot of what's going on. Big bang prototypes have been pretty awful, even after feeding the LLMs huge document…

Any promising techniques so far? I’m working on a rather large monorepo and very few people on the team are managing to keep up with it. Looking for ideas to improve comprehension.

I'm not a big fan of the encroachment of AI into Adobe's apps, so I'm using AI to build a replacement for those apps (a small web-based photo organizer and editor, just the tiny subset of the Lightroom features I need for my workflow)

Been building a open-source technical interview platform. Trying to keep the existing ideas of async coding assessments + live programming interviews, but want to add features for the new interview formats I see of take-home projects + AI coding agent interviews
