you might be surprised how much business context leaks into a codebase and that's plenty to work on :)

but also how much you kinda dont need it when you're just debugging code

agree that AI can kinda infer business context sometimes. in my experience, it doesn't work that well.

a lot of the time, debugging isn't a logic issue, but more of a state exploration issue. hence you need to add logging to see the inputs of what's going on, just seeing a control flow isn't super useful. maybe codemaps could simulate some inputs in a flow which would be super cool, but probably quite hard to do.
