Show HN: The Magic of Code – book about the wonders and weirdness of computation (themagicofcode.com)

For years, I’ve been obsessed with mapping code visually — originally by copy-pasting snippets into FreeMind to untangle large code bases in big complex projects. It worked, but it was clunky.

Now, I’ve built a VS Code/Visual Studio extension to do this natively: Code Mind Map. You can use it to add selected pieces of code to a mind map as nodes and then click to jump to the code from the map.

Developers say it’s especially useful for:

Untangling legacy code Onboarding into large codebases Debugging tangled workflows

Please try it out and let me know what you think!
