Related to that is domain knowledge of a program. The absolute most basic step to understanding a program is knowledge of what the program does at the user level (its inputs and outputs) that the user experiences. That particular thing though is likely less relevant to this project because I am not sure what tool I would write to help with that.

The premise is simple and obvious: things which can be brought together can be easily understood. Things that remain disparate are hard to understand.

In a way, the entire act of forming a mental model is simply an exercise in increasing locality of information.

So if you can have a tool in an IDE that can "rope in" the parts of a system you care about tightly together, visually and temporarily, I think that could quickly go a long way to building a mental model.

1) it only "feels good" for the moment right before or after posting it. In aggregate it just builds more resentment and fear.

2) I haven't noticed a significant impact on emotional energy or motivation, and the things you're complaining about are often completely outside of your control. It just makes you look whiny.

3) shutup pajeet

"How much memory does this Chromebook have?"

"32 gigabytes"

"... that can't be right. 32 gigs of RAM?"

"Uhh if RAM means memory"

(He thought memory meant hard drive (that was the last time I ever asked a best buy employee a question))

There are legitimate questions over if that's even legal (they will not be pursued)

It's more akin to Facebook if only their fact checkers were allowed to post.
