I'm an experimentalist. For me, it feels too hard to reason about code. I prefer to see what happens until an error occurs, and for some reason I feel a lot more incentivized to reason about why it goes wrong at that moment. With experimenting I can ask questions about the context, hence I don't need to remember the context. Also, I'm not sure if I have the memory to remember the context. All I know is that I process information quite well, but my active memory is quite limited. For example, I learned about pointers by debugging them and coerceing random memory addresses (which were ints) into pointers. Once the concept was learned, I could reason about it. So nowadays I can reason about code, provided I understand the concept. But I learn about the concept by debugging/experimenting -- in most cases.
