I find that if you are great at pseudocode, and great at defining a programs logic in the pseudocode, along with defining all cases possible, and trying to add user id10t error issue to the logic, you can get a pretty good framework of a program to start to work with. I also ask for comments for all logic, loops, if statements and functions that are instructional, yet easy enough that a 5th grader could understand. This framework usually comes as a version .8 for further development manually or even .9 beta test/debugging level. Occasionally, I've seen version 1.0 release candidate 1 level work, where I need to try to verify the functionality, AND try to find ways that users may try that will break functionality. Whichever version I end up with, it still involves manual coding, there is no escaping that. Using a LLM just saves (a lot) of time with the initial framework and program logic framework.
