When you’re on a website or an app, you look at something (a post, or a part of a UI), and your brain just starts calculating how this was made in your own language.
Like brain, stop, I’m tired, I don’t need the calculations right now.

Yup. My background is computer science transitioned to IT Infra.
My sister sent me a screenshot of a Spotify one-liner error, white text on black background, captioned “they wrote a lazy error”. I immediately recognized that the actual problem was the load balancer in the front end trying and failing to connect to the backend/middleware in the first error, then in the second it recognized a failed health check and reporting that no back ends were available. Root cause is probably networking issue or actual server crash.
I also have a bonus that in high school I had watched a ton of videos on VFX/SFX and knew a rough way around After Effects and compositing (before I jumped into CS I had considered this as a career path), so now when I watch TV and movies I can also see some of the “layers” they use to compile the on screen effect.
