You know, I have only ever visited one live movie set while work was going on, and it makes a huge difference in visualizing what my film people are talking about when I’m doing quote work with them. I can only assume this holds true for journalists without development experience when interviewing computer people.

I think, though, there’s more to be learned regarding what goes on in shooting. I need to arrange for more time on set. For that matter, I need to arrange for fly-on-the-wall time in a dev group working on stuff substantially different than the sorts of projects I’ve burned the midnight candle over. Hm.
