Call if a relic of my school days but I still work better on solving a puzzle with pen and paper.
I just can't look at a problem and get to coding, there has to be my own diagnosis of it on paper, manually working through test cases, edge inputs and at least two iterations through an entire loop of the main logic. Only after that do I replicate the logic using code. Am I alone?
