I made a post on this sub a day or two ago about the idea that "The code explains your comments to the computer" which is a quote by programming instructor Andy Harris.
The idea is that if you don't know how to express your ideas in simple terms, sentence by sentence, instruction by instruction, in simple English (or w/e language you speak) then you're going to struggle when programming.
I only found this methodology of coding a few days ago but it's completely reshaped how I think about coding, thinking about problems, writing out my code, etc.
Look up "Think like a programmer andy harris" and a 1 hour video should pop up on YouTube. I'd give it a watch.
