A product manager with access to a sophisticated organic AI programmer whose model is fine-tuned on their company’s internal data can create real working and tested code in an existing codebase with nothing more than a few sentences in a Jira card.
There’s absolutely no coding language in the world with that kind of expressiveness.
Imagine the code necessary for a Roomba-like device to implement "Run to the shop and buy me an apple, home grown and not bruised, but only if it's not stupid expensive" (one of the more trivial English programs.)
Oh, you mean car evasion is built in? Why isn't the same complexity then built into the roomba? Apples and oranges.
Humans have this in well, wetware I guess :)
If someone rewrote the U.S constitution to be 1000% clearer, it would never pass into law because politicians cannot agree what the U.S. Constitution should say about issues like abortion.
Since the requirement has changed but our language hasn't I don't know that the requirement tells you must about the language.
