What comes after GIT?

Nothing. I just don't see it, text based software development is at its best currently. Only thing nowadays is AI that helps you to figure out or speed up creating code in text. AI models are all about text based languages, all the low code or image based programming is not good base for AI models - generating images is obviously not going to generate block diagrams for working software as good as text generation.

So text manipulation is going to stay, we might have additional tools like AI to quicker create/process text and GIT is already best model for keeping history of textual changes and yes we want that history, because we still need to be in control of complex systems that are described by textual representation in whatever language is used.

People who find reading and writing tiring and nuisance that should go away are not going to change it. Even if neuralink happens to be everywhere I don't think it has a way to write information back to the brain so I think we are stuck with reading for quite some time. While images are much more information dense, text can be very precise and one cannot describe complex system with images/feelings only.
