Spaced (keyboarding practice) repetition for your own code.

A joke project that gives you keyboarding lessons for a code base. A response to over-reliance on IA.

A Random Thought

In the future very near… the Staff Principle Level 777 Software Engineer will,
as part of the employment agreement,
participate in keyboarding exercises to cultivate intuition of the codebase.

Status

First, build it for code.

Then, curious about curating guided tours through inistory.
For this, you'd have to type out your accepted answers (or other people's accepted answers) and perhaps the responsible code.

About This Project

The Name

Uhh… what kind of nonsense is ankyode?

A mix of:
  • "anki (opens in a new tab)" (a popular flash card & spaced repetition tool)
  • "y" (instead of i, for keyboarding)
  • "ode" (code)

Pronounced "anh-kigh-ode".
Think of a "diode" (electronics)…
Then it's "anh-diode" but with a "k" instead of "d".

What It Is

It is a tool you run on a code repository and it launches a website.

The website lets you do keyboarding exercises based on your code.

It combines
spaced repetition &
a keyboarding engine designed for ergonomics of code structure and syntax.

Inspiration

Intelligence Artificial

A course I took looking at "trustworthiness" of AI.
In this course one of the themes or concepts that often comes up is
the idea of "reliance". Particularly, of "over-reliance".

The practical implications of over-reliance and other nuances
within the field of human computer interaction are
sometimes referred to as "automation bias".
