Why not? Given a proper spec, you should absolutely be able to one-shot Excel, particularly if we put it at the level of complexity of, say, Excel 1.0 for Mac.

Current models aren't capable of that, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

The issue is not the models, the issue is that this method ws tried before, and humans suck at writing what they want. Developing in small increments allowing feedback was an answer to this issue.

If you made models able to code to long spec, you would be left with the hard issue of having to write them.
