Steering a model is still very much required. One of our goals is to be able to bust this myth that coding agents are are more than a tool developers use. We are working on visualizing what steering looks like. Progress is being made

Watching an agent edit the same file 16 times in a row is the perfect reminder. This is exactly why we built File City — so you can actually *see* what the agents are doing instead of just hoping.
Cutting through the hype of what agents can do can be really hard. Watching an agent edit a file 16 times in a row should provide the grounding we need to remember these things are not that much better than us at this

Great advice. This is how we're trying to make it easier to understand a codebase: xitter.cf/FileCityAI/status/2080…
Every codebase has a shape. See structure, who built what, what shipped, what a PR is changing, and more.
