  Yeah, I was completely distracted trying to figure out what `import { Button, icons } from "ui"` was derived from. Looks like `<div classname="flex` was partially made up of "beautifully it animates," like a sort of anagram. There's no semantic relationship, of course, between permutations of an anagram. So letter tweening is worse than useless. That being said, I do like the overall idea of animating code changes. Calls back to that old Facebook sketching app[0] that would let us share replays, and I am a fan of the stories that Gource[1] can tell. Ultimately, though, the sequential text file is a bad metaphor for code. Best thing for it is to split your modules across files. 0.
