Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The shared language of a software project is the common understanding of what its concepts mean, where the boundaries are, which invariants matter, who owns what, and why the system has the shape it does. This language lives partly in documentation and code, but also in code review, conversations, arguments, and many other places. AI removes a lot of the friction that comes with understanding all of that context. This can result in code that looks strange but works while removing the friction of human understanding.
