Show, don’t tell. Rather than doing human ceremony around product features, just make it instead. Cost of communication and coordination has increased dramatically relative to what it takes to crank out code. And you get to have some tangible results, skills and deep domain knowledge even if it is discarded later.

I'd agree with this take where possible. Trying to explain the idea requires all the listeners to imagine the same thing in their head. If you can show them something, it's worth a thousand words..

I have this with a colleague right now who has a rather solid idea (I think). Trying to convince him that at least some diagramming would help get it across.
