There's something that seems to be missing in all these posts and that aligns with my personal experience trying to use AI coding assistants.

I think in code.

To me, having to translate the into natural language for the LLM to translate it back into code makes very little sense.

Am I alone in this camp? What am I missing?

If you think in code, try prompting them in code.

I quite often prompt with code in a different language, or pseudo-code describing roughly what I am trying to achieve, or a Python function signature without the function body.

Or I will paste in a bunch of code I have already written with a comment somewhere that says "TODO: retrieve the information from the GitHub API" and have the model finish it for me.
