Wye Aims to Keep Reasoning Behind AI-Built Code Alongside the Code

The author, who is building a product called Wye, argues that code written with coding agents often loses the reasoning behind decisions, such as why published edits create drafts. Such rationale can be buried in old sessions or get dropped when later agents simplify features. Wye is designed as a shared memory vault installed alongside a project, where agents and people can record durable decisions, constraints, exceptions and rejected approaches. The system checks new knowledge against existing entries to catch duplicates, refinements or contradictions, which may reflect legitimate changes. The article notes the platform is still developing and invites readers to share where they currently keep such reasoning.
