An interactive 3D guide to how databases work. Done in two prompts with opus 5.5.
Primary thing I told it:
- I chose the databases ahead of time
- I said to do a learning visualization in webgl/threejs
- I want to the focus to be on visualizing the core data structures the db uses
- I specified how I wanted the interactive controls to work
- I told the model to use computer use and go through some of the impressive webgl tweets I liked to get an idea of what the model can do
In the follow-up prompt:
- I told it to improve the performance
- I told it to have upside and downside slides to show the tradeoffs beheind the db's architectural decisions
