What do you visualize while programming?

Programming involves a lot of thinking, yet we don’t talk about what actually goes on in our heads enough. The way we visualize things in our minds while coding can greatly impact our problem-solving ability. Some people may not visualize anything in their heads, a condition known as aphantasia. I can only visualize about 4Mb of RAM worth of information before needing to get it onto paper. Different tasks, like systems design or writing an algorithm, require different visualization techniques. Improving visualization skills takes time and practice, but can greatly enhance programming abilities. Share your techniques and tools for visualization in the comments!
