Right. Reading through code is just executing it on a high level, and very fuzzy and forgetful, virtual machine in your own brain.

My only complaint about my meatware computer is that it has a really bad ability to handle space complexity. With paper I can do OK with time complexity (although clockspeed is also an issue).
Mine is like a quantum computer. Not in performance, but that the register values decay within seconds to minutes.
I loved this comment. Great visualization!
