I have worked with people who work out the design before ever writing any code and then the code is mostly mechanical. I can imagine AI coding could work well for that sort of person.
I have always tended towards working bottom-up. I write a method or data structure or whatever that seems like it'll probably be useful. Move chunks of code around to change ownership or order of operations or data flow.
The writing and editing of the code is the thing that clarifies my thinking and understanding, and trying to do it in English and even worse, in some sort of linear conversational format is completely antithetical to the way my brain works.
Even when I'm "managing" (my coworkers don't need much management) answering questions or looking at PRs, I want to pull it into an editor and build it and try things. Just reading and talking to them about it gives me next to no insight whatsoever.
This is me saying the _form_ of the thing repulses me, completely ignoring usefulness or ethics.
