Building applications around databases (even graph databases) in the age of LLMs feels like we're computing with abacuses instead of integrated circuits. Schemas, fields, data types, indexes, nodes, edges, etc., are already obsolete - we just don't accept it.

The key to a readable, useful graph view is that it can't just show what page links to what other page. It needs to show how concepts *relate* to each other. The graph on the right shows the concepts in the text on the left, built by just pointing & clicking. No code required.
