Asking a model to "write a throwaway program to do X" is vastly more productive and reliable than asking "do X". Running code provides a feedback loop, the model can iteratively improve the solution instead of guess. Even if you don't read the code yourself, you have a reproducible, editable, and auditable artifact if you need it.
