There are times that I envy those of you with these visual powers.
<p>
On the other hand, I am never burdened asking myself (or others) "what does a scalar look like in memory?". I never cared. I deal with scalars as abstract entities, to which a series of operations can be performed. Without needing to "picture" everything (or even anything), I have learned different rules for manipulation that seem to solve some problems faster than others.
<p>
Also, I'm crazy good at puns, since I hear similar words, rather than see similar things.
