Continuing:
When programming in assembly programmers tend to do sketches on
paper, why is that? Because that makes it possible for them to
utilize the visual cognitive capabilities of the brain in
addition to the dog-slow-quasi-logical-reasoning of the human
brain. That creates a mental map of the program which assembly
doesn't support very well due to it's poor utilization of
distinct visual cues and patterns. Assembly code is visually too
uniform to "activate" visual cognition.
