In the age of AI-assisted programming, a ādocumentation firstā strategy makes sense. That is, before you write the code, start with a code comment describing the code.
// The following function takes
// an array of strings and returns
// a new string that concatenates
// the list with an optional separator.
Then let the AI autocomplete the code for you. #programming #ai
return of the pseudocode
Unironically yes. Write the pseudocode, then have the AI replace it with real code.
I did this for a Rust project. Wrote some Python, then said to Copilot āreplace this with the Rust implementationā
I will try. Often for long tasks it misses the mark in some important ways, but taking 5+ min the write all the function docstrings + pseudocode would probably make it much better and have fewer bugs
