can it go back and use future blocks as context? Thats what i'm most interested in here - fixing line 2 because of a change/discovery we made in the process of writing line 122. I think that problem is a big part of the narrowsightedness of current coding models

Exactly. The current (streaming) way means that once it makes a decision, it's stuck with it. For example, variable naming: once it names it something, it's stuck using that name in the future. Where as a human would just go back and change the name.

Maybe "thinking" will fix this aspect, but I see it as a serious shortcoming.
