It's hard to describe an "experience" with text.
That's kind of the the thing that literate programming is trying to solve[0]. But if the experts aren't able to do it for their own product, what chance does a random programmer have with their own code?
"When we communicate to one another face-to-face, we use gestures, expressions, intonation, etc. to articulate an idea. On the internet, when we communicate with just text, much of my meaning is lost forever and never apparent to anyone who reads this.
Programming is much the same way."
