"Programming is just a giant stack of metaphors." Yes! I think this wonderful write-up isn't just about "How to Draw..." but might as well be a starter to "How to Design Programming Concepts". Do concepts even exist outside of metaphorical frames?

Ever wondered how I make the egghead course illustrations? Here's Part 1 in a lengthy series of posts where I'll show exactly how I make them - illustrated.dev/drawinginvisib This one is about learning to think in visual metaphors. And it even comes with cake 🍰

Metaphores are often abused for making ideas sound more thoughtful and credible than they really are. Basically an exploit of human psychology. I think we should try stop doing that to ourselves and others.

In the "conceptual metaphor" idea, the meaning of "metaphor" itself is changed from just being a figure of speech to being a model of thought. IOW, we understand all things via metaphor. That's the thesis of Lakoff's "Metaphors We Live By".
