Yes! It’s the same for me.

Maybe it’s bc I’ve been programming since I was young or because I mainly learned by doing code-along books, but writing the code is where my thinking gets done.

I don’t usually plan, then write code. I write code, understand the problem space, then write better code.

I’ve known friends and coworkers who liked to plan out a change in psudocode or some notes before getting into coding.

Maybe these different approaches benefit from AI differently.
