Most new programmers forget the specification and execution plan part of programming.

I ended up finishing my side projects when I kept these in mind, rather than focusing on elegant code for elegant code's sake.

It seems the key to using LLMs successfully is to make them create a specification and execution plan, through making them ask /you/ questions.

If this skill--specification and execution planning--is passed onto LLMs, along with coding, then are we essentially souped-up tester-analysts?
