Li ~ Crystal System@KitsuneofInari im not sure id say that understanding of code is a boolean function of just either fully understanding everything including any and all bugs that could ever arise, and not understanding it at all, but rather a variable level of some understanding,
Halla Rempt@Li @KitsuneofInari So... Nobody can really understand code fully, not even the code they have written. Code has become too complex, and there is just too much of it!
But if you have thought about what your were writing, if you have recorded your thinking in commit messages and comments.
There is a chance you might have a recollection of having created that code when debugging it, ten years later.
If you asked Claude to regexp-slop it for you, not chance.
ck@halla @Li @KitsuneofInari Anyone who has ever tried knows that if you try to learn math by just reading a bunch of chapters in the text book, you might get a passable C on the test the next day, but you'll flunk any attempt as little as a week later.
As a human, you need to do the work.
