I personally have aphantasia, and, funny enough, I don't visualize anything when I'm coding, or reading code: I just understand the concept more or less deeply, but always without any images: It's just the "concept" that I understand. It's really like if I had an interpreter in my head when reading and when coding, I do the opposite: I know the required sequence and I reverse engineer it to the programming language version.

Do you guys really have schema in mind??

I don’t have aphantasia but I visualize nothing when I code. Only words, verbs, and sentences (classes, variables, statements).

I also visualize me smiting the previous programmer who wrote the awful code that I have to work on but that’s another story.

And then you run git blame to see who to smite and turns out you wrote the code two years ago ;)

It's always that idiot! Whish he wouldn't keep following me from job to job.

I am reassured by noticing that idiot is following me. The way I figure it, the fact that past Me is a coding idiot means that present Me has improved as a programmer. I hope that continues indefinitely and that future Me will consider present Me an idiot as well.
