Visual prototypes dissolve communication barriers

A picture tells a thousand words and a prototype saves a thousand meetings.

What if the language becomes actually working prototypes and working applications? Instead of giving the engineers just mocks or screenshots, you just say, oh, here's a bunch of React code, just make sure it runs on our infrastructure.

So I showed up to a team offsite with a spool of rope and sticky notes and I think my team looked at me crazy, went with two heads when I started to tie people up to create a graph. So each note of the graph was an engineer and the rope was the edges of the graph to connect them. And then we worked through the new algorithm extremely slowly, step by step.
