I manage software architecture / large codebases as ghostly shapes (representing major components) that interact kinesthetically, too. Sections of code have textures like fabric, or like topography. Smells and flavors, good and bad.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1190318283146158080 …

I don't think it's quite "taboo", but there are a few things going on. First, communicating tacit knowledge is _hard_. And this specific tacit knowledge is about nonverbal reasoning, which is hard to talk about verbally words—Wittgensteinian "Whereof one cannot speak" problems.

I've found it very useful in programming to watch livestreams of people solving problems in real world situations. There is a lot of tacit knowledge to be picked up there that you don't get in structured tutorials.
