Cool. That's the direction I've been taking too. How do you explain this to someone that is not a coder though?

ummm... if somebody wants to get into coding now, they have about a zillion ways to make it slightly less challenging than when I learned.

it's not my job to make it easy, but I'm happy to help unblock people when I can.

so, to answer your question more precisely:

go look for a good description of TDD, ask a model to parse it down into a prompt. include TDD in your prompt instructions. make sure you're paying attention to whether the bot adjusts tests before adjusting code.
