How useful is translating "pseudocode into a working program"? I doubt the utility of that skill as a programmer

- gregjor 14y agoStarting from pseudocode is a big leg up. In most situations the programmer won't have pseudocode unless he/she writes it. Users don't describe what they want clearly and unambiguously most of the time -- that's the other big skill programmers need. The first skill is being able to write FizzBuzz or something equally trivial in a couple of minutes. If a so-called programmer or coder can't write FizzBuzz from pseudocode then presumably they won't be able to write it from a prose description, which means they are going to be close to useless solving any real problem.
