@inthehands @Javi As a kid I went to a computer conference. Call it 40 years ago roughly. And this fantasy of "just write English" was being used to sell tools even then.
I think it will remain a fantasy until AGI. As you say, the hard part is understanding the human need and expressing it with precision. Document-driven development vigorously demonstrates how inadequate mere words are for explaining what software is supposed to do even when the readers are human.
