@blessedofcodes Yeah, the results or output, better still the solution it solves is what matters.

But he still needs to learn some basic about coding so you'll know exactly what you're doing.

That way you'll understand what you're actually doing and guide the AI.

It will make it lot easier

@blessedofcodes If the product works but if it breaks then you have to understand the code to figure out what broke. That's the process of being a developer
