I have always said that I can ”see” systems moving. I cannot actually describe that very well as I don't see code text or any diagrams. Algorithms and iterators are probably easiest to describe as they are little mechanical machines or motors whirling away. My wife can write extremely sophisticated SQL that I simply cannot as I want to ”see” how it works (the actual plan) rather than the abstract specification. She described one really complex query saying ”... and you grab both ends and pull it and ta-da it flips right side out and you have the answer!” 🤔 I wasn't able to grok it.
