The deleterious effects of not having a hobby are becoming a defining point in this cultural moment—and who is poised to help? That’s right: the autistics. Job fair day where we all set up tables explaining our deep dives and give people a hand out, a path back to society.

The codebases that structure themselves for that reality will compound. The ones that do not will slowly become illegible to the tools they depend. Structure is no longer for maintainability. It is for reasonability. What 19 AST Tests Taught Us About Agent-Readable Code » ctx.ist/blog/2026-04...
