        You joke but with chatGPT it’s inevitable. Old school programmers will stick to source code but tools for non-programmers will collect plain text descriptions to create functionality.

        Inevitably, images and all other media will become part of it.

        Future developers will have to navigate those collections and wonder why a functionality doesn’t work when they remove some side-tracking Instagram stories. They will shrug, leave them in place and heap on further memes and comments until they complete their jira ticket.
