Summary
Drawing from Age of Empires' fog of war mechanic, a TrueNorthCTO talk by Comper's CTO argues that AI-generated 'dark code' creates invisible threats in software systems. Comper's product ingests Git data onto a collaborative canvas, enabling both humans and AI agents to explore code landscapes and maintain visibility. The analogy stresses proactive system mapping to counter the velocity and opacity of AI-produced code.
