I think that the notetaking application Joplin could be used as an
icebreaker for a reticent programmer, who isn't natural at enquiring as to the nature of the business.

I imagine lines of attack as found throughout A. Wierzbicka's books. Some that I skim (they are attempts at understanding worldviews, I suppose) follow:
"Emotion"
"Feeling"
"Who, What, When, Where, Because, Like/As/Way, Why, How"
"Experience, Evidence, & Sense"
"Sensation, Perception, Impression, Fact"
"Semantics, Culture, & Cognition"
"Meaning & Culture"
"Words & Meaning"
"Keywords"

Just make a directory, and make subdirectories like this, and share it.
