Cool idea... I might try that.

I’ve recently begun a new programming approach, and I find it quite helpful.

Sometimes what I like to do is put in the comments first, before any code. This helps me pinpoint exactly what I want my code to be doing, and it sort of stubs out the code so I know where I am and how much left I still have to do (so I don’t forget any steps).
For example, I might write:
/** Saves a new review, and updates the product with the new review average. */
public static void saveReview(Review review) {
// save the review to the database
// calculate the review average for the product, including the new review score
// get the product from the database using the product ID in the review object
// save the product object to the database
}
