Say it again. Print it out and post it on the wall.
Carve it into a granite pillar and put it in the town square.

@futurebird @pre I might phrase it as "code is written to build consensus between those with intents for how the system behave and the machine that will be executing them". Part of that is comprehensibility by programmers, but this version also sheds light on the fallacy of thinking "AI" solves the need for code.
