This reminds me of that community epsiode where they get the VR system and the dean has to walk through a maze, climb up several things so that they can go to a filing cabinet and then retrive a file. Yes, its cool to see and watch but it seems to be adding more friction than reducing it. Like who is going to spend that much time watching what their agents did when there are far quicker and efficient ways of scanning through changes and organizing code with better ergonomics?

"when there are far quicker and efficient ways of scanning through changes and organizing code with better ergonomics?"

Like what?

Standard CLI version control tools like git diff, git log, or any built-in IDE diff viewer. Scrolling through a text summary of changes is inherently faster and more ergonomic than generating a 3D spatial visualization and watching an agent physically navigate through it.

(Though I disagree, not sure why this comment was flagged? vouched for it)

If you have a big codebase, text diff is not faster to see what was done here and there, then a visual overview. I don't know about this project, but experimented with other tools of this kind and am building one myself. With text diff - you have to parse lots of text and you cannot see on one glance that, oh, these changes are in the rendering, this is DB - and here was done something with the server connection. If done right, I can immediately or very quickly see what was changed - and also decide if the agent (or human) did work in the right spots or gone off track. Now doing this right is not easy, but reading lot's of text is definitely slower then seeing, oh in this area there was a change.
