I almost took a different path for my PhD and made it about capturing the knowledge that went into the creation of software. Can we see what people worked on, what they touched, how it came to be… in conjunction with the things they were also learning/consuming/reading/talking about so that we could bake that into IDEs. Right now we just see text files; the most we have is a git blame but you have to keep pulling the thread. It’s also very hard to traverse across blames in time. I’d rather use past knowledge to both know what’s related to some part, as well as how it came to be to determine where it should go next. I’ve always felt there’s meat on this bone. The early days of Lighthouse IDE seemed to veer a bit into this by they since diverged.
