This is in line with my perspective that writing as a form of self-reflection and thinking out loud is underrated. Likewise, programming as a form of thinking out loud is also underrated. For complex problems, I find that it doesn't matter how much planning I put into the task, I always find shortcomings in my initial logic and imagination once I get into the details and get involved in countless micro-decisions. Personally, I'd prefer thinking out loud through a programming language vs countless back-and-forth with an AI.
