Documentation Motivation Shifts From Humans to AI Agents

Description

A two-panel SpongeBob SquarePants meme using the Drake-style format. In the top panel, SpongeBob looks disgusted and reluctant with the text 'Documenting so other developers can understand' - representing the classic developer aversion to writing documentation for human colleagues. In the bottom panel, SpongeBob looks excited and enthusiastic, pointing approvingly, with the text 'Documenting so AI agents can understand' - showing the ironic new motivation for writing documentation now that AI coding assistants need well-documented codebases to function effectively

My code comments used to be cryptic apologies to my future self. Now they're just carefully worded prompts for the AI that's going to make my future self obsolete

Making AI to document everything so in the future AI agents can understand it

Dokumenting wrong to troll vibe coders.
