Is this person not actually reading what Claude is telling them along the way?
For every iteration of my earlier apps, when I pasted in the output code, I learned what it saw went wrong, and it told me how it was going to adjust the code. And nothing prevented me from trying to read that code.

and then... the whole thing worked, just had the rate limited improvements, but as a core tool that did what I wanted, it worked within 60 minutes of downloading Python for first time in my life.

Absolutely -- just had to wait since I accidentally hit a 'rate limit exceeded' (and then improved code for that haha). Let me just paste my prompts, as embarrassing as that is. I'd just downloaded VS Code and Claude for Mac prior to this.
