I could imagine a hybrid where declarative statements drive the high-level, and lower-level details branch off and are hashed out imperatively (in chat). Maybe those detail decisions then revise the declarative statements. The source of tru

it's cool to see all the smart little process details - wood sticks to clean off the watch without scratching - bright green mat for high contrast against small parts - soft cushion pad made it easier to pick up parts on a flat surface
