AI-assisted code editor, increasingly used by designers building real prototypes.
Definition
A code editor with model assistance built in, which lowers the barrier for designers who want to build working prototypes against a real codebase rather than a design file.
Craft convention. True because the industry converged on it. Breaking it costs familiarity, not correctness.
