From there, for you I'd google "whatever stack beginner tutorials"

if you're using chat interfaces, use a new chat window, or even another AI to explain in detail what the code is doing ( modern rubber duckie coding )

this should allow you to confirm that the code does indeed do what you think its doing.

Different chat windows are key there.. as the same window will happily lie to you and confirm its own bullshit code
