Tell it to use red/green TDD and start things off with an already configured test suite, maybe with a single test that asserts 1+1==2.
Make sure it know how to run the tests before it starts writing any additional code.
Then set it a clear goal.

I just asked it for a code snippet and it ended up setting up a whole repo in a docker container or something.
Even volunteered a test suite. This genuinely amazed me.
...until I checked the tests.
It was just console.log("Tests passed!")

Thank you for this advice. I can absolutely see how such advice could be helpful, and considering I have created environments (containerized) where that is not always possible, then that might explain some of my past results. XD
Do you have any advice on how to make LLMs actually follow instructions and how to prevent them 80/20-ing every task?
By the way, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thank you for you current and past contributions, I had a lot of fun with Django when I was in college.
I find they mostly do exactly what I ask them to, but I think that's because I instinctively prompt them in a way that effectively communicates what I want.
