A Picture Is Worth a 1000 Lines of Code
summary
A clear claim: a tiny reproducible visual framework turns non‑drawers into effective explainer‑builders. Tools actually used are pen and paper, whiteboards, Miro, a simple visual alphabet and six micro visual frameworks (derived from six vision pathways). A concrete example maps Maria’s Ruby learning path, timelines and flows into a plan; the produced sketch surfaces a different recommendation—Ruby plus commitment plus community—and it works, making the idea memorable and actionable.
