You can also tell the AI you have no programming knowledge

That actually really helps. I have done that, especially when it wants me to panache different codes bases together. I prefer to tell it to do it by itself lol.

I realised that too and especially while debbugging it tries to mend things 10 x exactly the same way and it can be helpful to either change the model or to think by myself and give it a nudge in the good direction :-)
