I rarely actively plan for software; I'll decide I want to write some code and then go off and do other stuff (go to gym, play video games, walk, whatever) and my mind will suddenly tell me "hey go type this into the computer we figured this out"

back in my public school days I was a math prodigy ; same issue, I would mostly solve math problems by intuition rather than step by step calculation , get >95% on all exams without having to actively think or "show work" but just trusting my gut , teachers would ask me how I solved problems and I could only answer "idk I just know"

one reason why I am a hobby programmer instead of corporate drone I guess
