This looks awesome, any users out there that can opine?

Not sure this is the answer but for sure this is highlighting the right question. I’ve never been a teacher, but having been involved in mentoring newbies more often than I expected.. error traces with absolute filenames and terminals with Click-to-edit-file support are the smallest effort you can put in to get the biggest results (although this can also lead to confusion with virtual envs and such).

That’s just the beginning of the nav we really want though. The key point is all about focusing on “don’t make me mess with file systems” because the code already has many dimensions of inherent structure.

That's pretty neat, I'll definitely try it out!
