New chapter in the Agentic Engineering Patterns guide. "Cognitive debt" — when developers lose understanding of agent-generated code — mirrors technical debt at the comprehension level. Prescribes linear walkthroughs, animated explanations, and interactive interfaces. Coding agents can generate these tools on demand, transforming passive understanding into active comprehension. simonwillison.net
