And the real maddening part is that search engines have been so enshitfied to make way for AI that's wrong like 9/10, so you're forced to rely on it for answers because if you try google, the snake wraps around and eats it's own tail giving you an AI answer! stalin-stressed

I was never the best programmer, yet it seems so ass-backwards to me modern programmers aren't writing pseudo-code and working things out on paper

Not a programmer, but as someone whose master's degree is filled with "write 30 pages worth of documentation before starting a project" when you are actually working in the real world, half that shit goes out of the window. So, I can definitely see how a lot of people are not writing pseudocode and instead brute forcing a bunch of things.
