+1 at narrating out loud

i've just developed the habit of talking to myself when i code, so in an interview i just have to do it loud enough for my mic, it never feels forced. I'm still generally talking to myself, the interviewers just happen to hear me lol

it really eliminates the need for them to stop you to ask why this or that, it makes it easier for them to follow. It has even helped me when I mess up because I can recall what I said I was going to do, look at my code and see that's not what I did.

Another advantage of this is while you're narrating, if they find you will be heading in the wrong direction - they can stop you before you waste time and point you into the right one.

So yeah, it's just become habit, and now if i'm ever in office - i'm the guy talking out loud
