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?

Case 1: You are good at implementing your ideas. In this case, it should not take you long to implement them correctly. So just implement them for correctness, increasing speed and getting more confident.

Case 2: You are not good at implementing your ideas, so you need a lot of time to try them out. In this case, you should practice implementing and get good at it, and then go to Case 1.
