Every developer knows this pain. You open a codebase you haven't touched in 6 months.
You spend 2–3 days just re-understanding it before you write a single line.
Multiply by every new hire, every PR review, every open-source contributor.

context-collapse names it. And eliminates it.
Day 1Reading files, trying to understand structure
Day 2Tracing dependencies, hitting dead ends
Day 3Finally have a mental model, start coding
Day 4Make the actual change. Takes 20 minutes.
3 days wasted. Every time. For every developer.
