I never even considered this might be what it’s like to have pictures in your head! I guess because I have no idea what that’s like. I have a lot of voice in my head. (Just my own!) and I talk to myself in my head a lot.
I should say that I do have a strong mental _something_ that is good for imagining connections between stuff. When I’m coding I can ‘see’ pretty much instantly how everything should be connected together. What the user agent and server and database and api etc will all do and what they’ll pass back and forth and store just comes into my head very effortlessly all connected together. So I think the visual bit of my brain is being used for that instead.
