Treating code as text here is the main issue. If it were just some paragraph there wasn’t an issue. Code should probably shared with context i.e. the ref to the location in the repo unless it’s really self contained in which case should be shared in such a way that will be monospaced fonts, preferably with syntax highlighting. For sure not a screenshot.
This person sounds like my coworker. I love screenshots. I also love to annotate on them. I want them to see exactly what I see. If they want text out of it, just highlight the text in the image like every decent OS allows you to do.
Also, have you tried to copy and paste a dozen browser console errors? 🤮
What I would really love to see people do is write articles about things they want, and less about things they don’t want in their lives
One thing that could be good is a tool that would allow you to screenshot text and then it would convert that text to something like markdown or HTML or whatever color-coded Monospace flavor of the month format you want.
