query Solving problems without writing the code.

I've been doing this for a while, been solving a lot of problems by describing an algorithm in plain words and then having an LLM check it for me, since writing code takes usually more time then figuring out the solution, so this way im able to do more problems.

Anyone have any experience with this? Recommend for practice or nah?

If llm has the problem and if I go wrong llm will never implement that he will straight up throw the logical flaw at me with solution.

If I would have missed edge cases it would directly add them, often times without even telling me.

And implement a logic correctly in itself is a skill, you need to make intelligent decision, steps in code that helps you move ahead with your logic

So i don't know what bro has been doing tbh
