I'm Not a Dev But I Use Qwen 3.6 35b to Code

Full disclosure: I used to program a bit, but I was garbage at it so I found a new career. This was eons ago so I'm not a de, obviously. There's been a few posts the last couple of days highlighting struggles with these small models and coding so I wanted to just share what worked for me, and this isn't a "use this harness" or "this agent did the thing" kind of post. Keep in mind, I'm not a de, I never even learned modern development strategies or anything like that so if this is obvious to some of you actual programmers just forgive me and move on, if it sounds stupid. well it works, so.
