Interesting point about state charts for hardware systems. They're indeed excellent for modeling complex system behaviors. I've heard of Stately/XState being used for some embedded control interfaces - while it's typically associated with web apps, the same statechart patterns work surprisingly well for describing hardware state machines and their transitions.
Really interesting tool! Would love to see how it handles database integration patterns. We've been working with Astra DB in some projects, and having auto-generated documentation for different database access patterns would be super helpful for the team. Have you considered adding specific support for database architecture visualization?
Yes definitely, adding database schemas and queries is on our roadmap for capturing "indirect links" across codebases. We are thinking of something similar to Supabase studio's schema visualizer [1], but integrated with the map of the codebase so that which parts of the code read/writes to different tables. Is that what you have in mind? Or do you mean something else by database access patterns?
Not them, but can relate. I dwell on the asymmetrical nature a bit. Relationships take more than they provide.
It's certainly an indication that I should maintain better relationships... but it's vastly easier to keep them minimal.
I hear people now: "but opportunities!". Can't miss what you already have.
To know I have a friend (of a certain class, at least) I have to be ready to effectively double the size of my life. It's already been pretty overwhelming. Different types of resilience involved or being developed
Back on topic: I find it's less about the people and more... everything in between. The act of sorting; rarely worth the effort. Manufacturing productive business relationships has been far simpler than personal. Where some find benefit joining them... I actually enjoy space between.
> I guess I’m saying you shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated unless you are ok with that same behavior being turned back on yourself.
This! However if you'll allow me—I think it's worth saying we shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated _at all_ because we're never really okay with that same behavior being given back to us because of millenia of social, communal evolution.
What one may call the treatment of an "impersonal machine" is another's assessment of what an appropriate relationship looks like. Some people prefer such associations even in deeper relationships because it prevents one person's encroachment upon another's individual agency and minimizes (or at least clarifies) the incurrence of "social debt" between the two parties rather than assume mutually shared rules of engagement right off the bat.

That’s an argument I think I agree with but am not ready to defend tonight.
It’s much easier to defend the point that if you treat me solely as a resource to be exploited then you shouldn’t be surprised if others or myself treat you solely as a resource to be exploited
