If you can’t design your program in your head, and can’t trace the code by reading it, neither the compiler nor AI (i.e.: code derived from other people’s code)

If you can’t design your program in your head, and can’t trace the code by reading it, neither the compiler nor AI (i.e.: code derived from other people’s code) won’t help you. I like Go in that regard. You can keep the whole feature set in your head, and read/simulate the code without getting confused, and I’m telling this as a C++ fan.
