At the same time, putting your ideas to words forces you to make them concrete instead of nebulous brain waves. I find that the chat interface gets rid of the downsides of pair programming (that the other person is a human being with their own agency*) while maintaining the “intelligent” pair programmer aspect.
Especially with the new r1 thinking output, I find it useful to iterate on the initial prompt as a way to make my ideas more concrete as much as iterating through the chat interface which is more hit and miss due to context length limits.
* I don’t mean that in a negative way, but in a “I can’t expect another person to respond to me instantly at 10 words per second” way.

- RHSeeger 2y agoDoing it in your native language can add an extra dimension to it, though. In a way, I would consider it like double checking your work on something like a math problem by solving it a different way. By having to express the problem and solution in clear language, it can really help you make sure your solution is a good one, and considers all the angles.
