I've been wondering if AI coding agent world makes literate programming valuable again. I got into it with JavaScript being a mess prior to the modern changes. Needed a lot of workarounds. Then they improved the language and it felt like coding could be efficient with them. But if the programmer switched from coding to reviewing, maybe it would be good to be able to have various snippets, with an explanation preceding it and then verifying it. Haven't tried it yet. But I do wonder.
