It is easier to understand code and its consequences than human language; hypotheses are testable and verifiable. It helps to think of coding as a form of game.

Open source, and Github specifically, can be mined and reused like any other knowledge; pay attention to Microsoft and OpenAI going forward.

It's easier to understand language on a syntactical level, the program itself is turing complete and we don't even have a decent automatic verification tool.
