But I will say...
To its credit, these aren't slop descriptions like they were before.
Like, oh, here's what this function does.
It's like, oh, here's actually the reasoning and why we chose this approach and what the alternatives were and why we shouldn't do those alternatives.
Like, still too much information.
But I wonder if this actually might be directionally correct if you want systems that can self-maintain themselves in the long run.
Oh, they write their specs in line.
All the context in the code as well, yeah.
So you approve?
But at the same time, it's this tricky problem.
Maybe we'll just give our users a setting or something for how verbose you want it to be.
I haven't loved it.
I like the comment, but please get rid of it.
But I could see a world where maybe something of the sort becomes reality.
I don't know if you guys know about Git AI.
Yes.
We've talked about it, yeah.
Git AI, the idea behind it is that if you run an agent, the actual prompts you send to the agent should be stored alongside the code inside the Git metadata so that future agents can reference it, maybe code review bots can reference it.
And it's kind of an ideal world where your context for why decisions are made constantly lives beside your code.
And so it's maybe a more hidden version of this write massive PRDs for every comment sort of approach.
