Code is cheap. Show me the trajectory.

Linus Torvalds said it best, twenty years ago: “Talk is cheap. Show me the code.”

The line worked because in 2005, the code was the artifact that mattered. Anyone could argue about an approach. Few could implement it. The diff on the screen separated the two.

In 2026 that line is breaking. With Claude Code, code is cheap too. The expensive thing is not what got committed. The expensive thing is what almost got committed, what got rewritten six times, what looped on errors for twenty minutes after you walked away.

GitHub stores the code. It does not store the trajectory.

What is missing

Look at the diff for any AI assisted PR. You see the final state. You do not see:

• The block that was rewritten 4 times before settling
• The 12 minutes Claude spent in an error loop on a tool call
• The 47 consecutive read_file calls that returned nothing useful
• The moment the human walked away and the agent kept editing

This information existed. It was in the session. It is gone now.

What Superview does

Superview reads your local Claude Code session logs and surfaces patterns. Not “what changed”. How it changed. Edit thrashing, error loops, abandonment, runaway tool calls.

It runs locally. Your sessions never leave your machine. One command:

npx superview

That is the whole pitch. Trajectory is the new diff.

Why now

The shape of code review is going to change. PR descriptions written by humans are becoming PR descriptions written by agents that never made the change. Reviewers who used to read 50 lines now read 500. Most of those lines are correct. Some of them are the residue of a loop the agent never escaped.

Reviewing the diff is no longer enough. You have to review the trajectory.
