The better the models get, the harder it is for me to form a mental model of what goes on inside of them. An example of a prompt for which I don't have a good mental model why it works: What do you think about the following text?

I wonder how much of a factor the "One DB, one file" concept is in SQLite's success. I always loved that an SQLite DB is just a single file. People say "Who cares how many files the DB is?". But in practice, I alway
