Very. It's just how my mind puts things together, not something I can try to do or not do. I tend to see programs in blocks and patterns interacting rather than sequences of logical operations, probably why I tend to prefer the object-oriented paradigm over others. I get bogged down when I can't visualize the interactions. It isn't just programming, either -- working with derivative products in finance I formed very detailed visual mental models of how they operated.
