Episode notes

The typical workflow that I'm seeing is you generate this piece of off language code. It's pretty small, usually. It's, and if it isn't small, it probably isn't right. If you really care about the result and you really want to make sure it's right, you better look at that code and understand it because that's the way you have the sort of checkpoint of did it really do what I expected it to do?
