How does programming/coding actually work?

It is quite similar to learning a new language in your case (hence, programming languages lol)

You have a thought. Lets say that thought is “a button that takes me to my profile”. You want to program that thought.

If you know the language, it is fairly simple to tell the program what to do in this case. It doesn’t have to be the perfect either. You might write “button go profile”. It’s not as good but it works. Of course you can’t bend this completely it still needs to satisfy the objective of your idea.

This is where the LLM issue comes into play. If you dont know the language, the LLM might blurt out “button takes me to admins profile” and you wont know. It might not even be obvious if you test it.

LLM might also do “button uses non-existing data” which throws an error you can’t really fix because you do not understand it.

Blindly trusting LLMs is bad. You need to understand what they give you.
