I'm intrigued to see that Google has quantified that new code is generally buggier and less secure than code that has existed in your codebase for longer: https://security.googleblog.com/2024/09/eliminating-memory-safety-vulnerabilities-Android.html

I've been experimenting with an 'evaluate up to cursor' mode for my PL project. I love evaluating self-contained snippets in Lisp, this generalises the idea. The interpreter remembers the arguments when you run tests, then can re-use them when you say 'eval up to here'. What do you think?

Over a sufficiently long time horizon, all code you write is legacy code.
