I was thinking of that, but asking the right questions and learning the problem domain just a little bit "getting the gist of things" will help a complete newbie to generate code for a complex software.

For example in your case there is the concept of message routing where a message that gets sent to the room is copied to all the participants.

You have timers, animation sheets, events, triggers, etc. A question that extracts such architectural decisions and relevant pieces of code will help the user understand what they are actually doing and also help debug the problems that arise.

It will of course take them longer, but it is possible to get there.



So I agree, but we aren't at that level of capability yet. Because at some point currently it inevitably hits a wall and you need to dig deeper to push it out of the rut.


no code has been the hot new thing for the past 40 years.
