I suspect the ones who are, were already programmers.

I've had some success taking our main windows app and converting it to a server with a Flutter front end.

Mostly stuff that I already knew how to do but couldn't be arsed because it's a lot of work to keep it all in sync. Break it down into actual tasks and Santa Claude stands half a chance. I've never written a line of Dart.

I'm also absolutely certain there's a limit to how far this approach will get me. The old the first half of the work takes 90% of the time. The second half also takes 90% of the time.
