Wow. I can’t "see" anything in my head. I think I have aphantasia (though I’m not really sure, I can see flashs of things but not keep them).

So I totally have to write the code to reason about it. I didn’t knew people could imagine portions of code so it explains some things. I’m not sure it bothers me or even if that’s abnormal because it’s always been like that so I can manage that. But it’s tiring.

But it also forced me to learn to be concise and to express the fullness of my thoughts through langage (or code). Which is really useful in this job.

Also, I have ADHD which I know from my psychiatrist affects short term memory. I wonder if "picturing" things happens in the same brain région than short term memory. It would explain a lot of things. Maybe I’m just some individual with broken RAM and I had to compensate with "overclocking" my CPU of thoughts. </personal-theory>
