I have limited experience even trying. But I did try it for some fundamental JS Web API stuff sans framework or library like IndexedDB, web sockets, and a basic, basic todo like app.

Neither of those three would function nor would they throw an error. Prompts to correct itself would not improve things.

So I did the natural thing and started to debug myself. At which point, I couldn’t help but ask myself why I was debugging machine generated code when I could not be lazy and actually build it from first principles.
