There's an interesting side effect to the current state of the non-technical world.

We have some new tools that increase productivity, and these same tools both lower the barrier to entry to understanding software concepts and building software.

I think the result is more people who would've been traditionally considered non-technical are going to be onboarding to concepts that wouldve been traditionally ring fenced in the developer world.

Granular version control and diffs being one of them.

If this trend is real, and relatively large, I think it will be a good thing.

Yeah in the legal world they’ve had the concept of “track changes” forever but there simply isn’t something like branching and merging.

Like branching a document for a particular negotiation. Or branch it when adapting it to a new jurisdiction’s laws, etc.

It would benefit so much from that workflow or mindset.
