“Create a window with a table view, and then when someone clicks a button, add an entry to the table view”

The thing is, even the above has logic "then when someone clicks". A lot more logic than that is needed to write any reasonably sized program. Many conditions need to be thought of and allowed for. This is even though the above requires the computer to write a lot of code for us - which would have been originally written by humans.
