Episode notes
Code Reading Dominates Dev Time
- Developers spend over 50% of their time reading code, the largest effort in software development.
- Tools often bake in specific problems, so customizing tools during development reduces friction and boosts productivity.
Code Reading Needs New Approach
- The way reading code is approached is inefficient since code is highly contextual and complex.
- Tools should allow queries beyond text to speed finding relevant code and reduce manual reading.
Multiple Perspectives Are Key
- There is no single way to view software objects; multiple customized perspectives are necessary.
- Development tools should support creating and switching between many live perspectives during problem-solving.
