Yes all the time, how else?

I mean if it's just a few lines, a change to existing code, etc, you can jump straight in with actual code.

But if it's a new object/module etc, start by writing some function names, and some rough structure within them, etc. All in IDE/editor. And I wouldn't call it pseudo-code, just a rough outline.

That's exactly my point.

An outline is a very different beast compared to pseudo code.

It's effectively the difference between operational semantics and denotational semantics.
