On writing code to communicate an idea or intent:

I have days where I communicate more in written form than spoken. Given the popularity of messaging on smartphones, and the frequency of emails in the average workplace, will we reach a point where text is the most common medium? Has it happened already?

I've started naming my git remotes 'mine' and 'upstream'. It's a really useful way of tracking where you've pushed code: the name 'origin' doesn't really communicate anything.
