Point, don't describe

19 Aug, 2026

A modal wouldn't close. Before, I typed where the bug was. "The popup after adding an SSH key, the one that stays open." Hoping it found the right one. This time, I clicked.

My agent, ZCode, has a browser built in: click an element and it drops into the chat like an attachment, DOM details and all.

A second bug: a translation showing its raw string. One apostrophe was the whole bug. I pointed, said what was wrong. Fixed on the first try. The modal too. I still type what's wrong. Just not where.

It's like walking a teammate to your monitor instead of opening a GitHub issue. So far: only broken things. Next: how do you point at something that doesn't exist yet?
