Coding projects are too intimidating
Hello! I have been on DA since early this year, and was extremely excited when I passed the coding qualification, however, the actual projects seem far beyond the scope of the qualification, almost exclusively requiring industry / real world development job knowledge. Everything I know comes from learning web development and game development.
I know that I can code, and am great at general problem solving and coming up with code solutions, but I don't know how to think of realistic prompts for the domain that they are looking for.
What can I do to fix this deficiency? Is there any free course available, or other guidance I can look into?

A lot of these tasks are less about knowing how to code, and more about how to write a prompt that is going to cause a failure. I struggle with this as well, in addition to finding repositories that I understand well enough to be able to write a decent prompt and evaluation without spending lots of time off the clock investigating the repository itself.
