Speaking only of written communication here: I've noticed a distinct trend of people stopping documentation, comments, release notes, etc. intended for human consumption and devoting their writing efforts to building skills, prompts, CLAUDE.md intended for machines.

While my initial reaction was dystopian horror that we're losing our humanity, I feel slightly different after sitting with it for a while.

Ask yourself, how effective was all that effort really? Did any humans actually read and internalize what was written? Or did it just rot in the company wiki? Were we actually communicating effectively with our peers, or just spending lots of time on trying to? Let's not retcon our way to believing the pre-AI days were golden. So much tribal knowledge has been lost, NOT because no one documented it but because no one bothered to read it. Now at least the AI reads it.
