We actually already have one of those, and it still fits just for a different reason: > The first 90% is easy/fast/cheap, it's the second 90% that's hard/slow/expensive Since most of the generative approaches treat code as disposable, then the second (and subsequent) 90% approaches just throw it away and start over.
