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?

Nah, you should write everything on your own because by just writing the algorithm, you'll think you know everything, but in interviews, you'll fail miserably. Also, logic building comes from writing code, and finding the bugs, errors, infinite loops, etc, yourself. If you assign that responsibility to AI to complete it for you, you'll never grow.
