Do my cohorts, who have drifted into positions of tech lead, and then onwards as technical mentors to younger dev teams, find the same? I know I betray my communication style by admitting I don't need to see the screen; I prefer to see their world through a mental model built by words and sensing body language through tones and pauses. I'm not even sure I'm in the right line of work most days, at this point.
