How to code when you don't know?

Pseudo code for life baby.

Sometimes, the brain feels overloaded.

You aren’t sure where to begin when coding.

Thanks for reading Saiyan Growth Letter!

You’re not sure of the structure of the code.

I had such a situation recently where I had to write a TypeScript script dealing with cloud stuff.

I felt overwhelmed.

So, I began by pseudo coding.

All I did was add comments, step by step, of the logic I needed to implement.

My mind began clearing up.

I could focus on taking small steps rather than feeling overwhelmed.

Afterwards, implementing the code became much easier.

Pseudo coding: do it whenever the logic gets complicated!

Awesome stuff, reducing cognitive mental load all the way! TDD can also help a lot with that.
