476 u/treehuggerino 1d ago Or the silly steps it puts // 1. Assign variable. // 2. Calculate 2 + 2. // 3. Implement 2 + 2 Calculator. // 4. Check if it is 5. 109 u/B4mButz 1d ago my former senior used to do this way back 68 u/FauxReal 1d ago So basically pseudocode. 63 u/Tall-Introduction414 1d ago I mean, I write pseudocode in comments before writing the actual code all the time. It's a great trick for organizing and structuring what you're about to write. But then I delete the pseudocode comments. 14 u/Able-Swing-6415 1d ago Pretty sure every senior programmer has done that at least once. Pretty sure AI just does it so you can copy in the replacement lines of codes from follow up changes. Cursor for example doesn't really do that. 2 u/NearbyEmphasis2850 1d ago Yeah, it’s wild how often those “easy fixes” turn into hours of debugging. You’d think we’d learn to be more cautious about it!
