Tried writing pseudocode first for the first time, why did nobody say this earlier

I spent 2 weekends stuck on a loop problem in Python, then my coworker in Seattle made me write out the steps on paper before touching the keyboard. It felt dumb but the code basically wrote itself after that. Has anyone else had that moment where planning on paper beat just coding?

Damn, the real trick is writing pseudocode for your pseudocode, that's where the magic happens!
