Interest has risen in tandem with the popularity of LLMs. I have worked on these sorts of things as part of internal tooling.
Sometimes these strategies are used to provide LLMs with a greater understanding of your codebase to improve code generation results.
Additionally, techniques which allow humans to visualize the shape of code are being explored as engineers become less familiar with the specific implementation.
pretty crazy stuff. i have been looking at different options to include. does it work on C++ codebases? also do you provide support or plan to maintain it long term? so far i'm looking at some graph based solutions.
btw if you want to see if it can integrate with this architecture https://github.com/ByteAsk/byteask-extensions

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 34.2 ms ] threadThe closest was a "visualization" of a single, unconnected node that can be moved around — all by its lonesome self — on a canvas. For some reason.
why suddenly this becomes popular?
is there a recent breakthough that leads this trend?

I would think an LLM would be useful for explaining behavior, whereas visualizing code references can be done with no AI at all.
