Comment on Why is it impossible to reverse-engineer closed source software?

It’s not impossible to do it.
Couldn’t a very smart person (or AI) just take the existing program and turn it into code?
No, you’d need a team of experienced developers and lots of time.
So much time that the target software you’re trying to reverse engineer usually moves faster than you can catch up.
So you’re constantly falling further behind the current state of what people want to use.

It’s taken years for devs to decompile Zelda let alone other projects. It’s crazy how much work goes into such projects.
