The original title is "A three-step verbal framework for communicating during coding interviews"

Short summary

A developer shares a three-step verbal framework called State → Plan → Execute for communicating effectively during coding interviews. State involves clarifying the problem and assumptions, Plan is outlining the approach before coding, and Execute is narrating each step while writing code. The article includes concrete examples with array rotation and linked list reversal problems, showing how silent coding hurts even when the solution is correct.
