I don't think that I think "like a computer", but rather I think about the design of systems/processes more. As I would expect, say, a visual artist to think about the visual design and aspects of things more than a non-artist. Or a musician (as evidenced by music-centric friends) to notice acoustics and other properties of spaces and media more than non-musicians. But artists don't "think like a painting" and musicians don't "think like an instrument".

Computers, themselves, don't "think" about efficiency and maximizing, they think literally (and I do know some people who take everything too literally, I would say they "think like computers" in the sense that they lack humor and imagination and creativity). Instead I'd say I think like a computer scientist/systems thinker. I think about what collection of actions and conditions would achieve a goal most effectively. This can be in several regards:

- Most efficient

- Most repeatable

- Most sustainable

These are the same kinds of things that I think about in developing/designing software systems. But I'm not thinking like a computer.
