Developers spend most of their time figuring the system out

We're not talking about programming here but explaining a concept.

Indeed! And even then drawing can help with the programming!

Discussing code for linked lists for example, having the box and pointer notation for what happens and scenarios very helpful!

[1]<->[2]<->[3] to [1]<->[3] means changing [1]'s and [3]'s pointers and freeing [2]

I'd have said those are very, very similar things, if not I fact the same.

Granted, code requires far more details than many conceptual explanations, but it is still one.
