Re:How do you visualize code?

There's also all kinds of probabilistic visualizations, which is maybe a third axis in that diagram. (I.e. call coverage, sampling profilers, various o11y approaches)
I think that will be an important field especially for software running at a large scale - because it allows to get a better understanding of large systems. It's also a loss of fidelity that has strong implications for individual interactions.
(And yes, I know o11y is already a large tool there. I'm just thinking we've merely scratched the surface of probabilistic views)
