Code Is Debt

So many people are unable to imagine a future where any misunderstandings in execution by the programmer (AI in this case) can be more pleasantly and quickly solved by a conversation between product team / designer / QA and the AI-dev. There are systems in place to prevent junior devs from nuking your systems. Or senior disgruntled / insane devs from nuking your systems. This is why we have db backups, staging, etc. Programming uses a relatively limited vocabulary to talk about a relatively limited number of things. It will be better at the build-feedback-correct loop than 99% of devs. It will remember conversations, detail, everything basically. Just wait a few years. Lines of codes will be as irrelevant as #s of 0s and 1s.

How long are those conversations between team designer and QA? How many seemingly trivial details have to be discussed over and over because addressing one of them creates an inconsistency in the others? I think this is the debt that can usually be estimated by lines of code.
