It probably depends on whether you are visual type (40%), emotional type (40%) or audio-textual type (20%, dominating academia). I am clearly a visual type with perfect color vision and my brain can do "search" on the screen in literally one "frame", i.e. localizing term I am searching for instantly instead of going line by line. So YMMV and whatever works for you instead of "there is only one true way and everybody needs to follow it".


It's interesting to explore what an "emotional type"-optimized programming paradigm might look like. Perhaps something like word problems in school math, where you target understanding by rephrasing what's originally a mathematical statement into a "social" problem, involving real-world agents (such as people or firms) who might interact with one another in some well-defined way? I assume this is an underexplored area, albeit social scientists have no doubt started addressing it with things like "game semantics" and the like.
