Struggling with making an algorithm in a big architecture once I felt the same way - just couldn't keep the current state of the code in my head and also imagine the new solution at the same time. Ever since, have been working on http://etchpad.dev to solve this pain (shameless plug). We're trying to make an interface that works with an engineering brain, so we can think in terms of blueprints and wiring, idk just something more tangible than hallucinating wildly in a multidimensional space like we have to right now.

Really agree with the article, ultimately the typing and thinking speed issues can be solved with AI, but trusting it and auditing what it does seems like a job for humans for the foreseeable, you know, so maybe we avert a classic sci-fi AI apocalypse and whatnot
