No.

I'm saying you build a tiny hut, and it stands up. Then you build a slightly
larger hut, and it stands up. Then you improve your materials a little, and
build another hut. Keep going, one tiny change at a time, until you have a
big building.

Note that process takes millenia. Software, fortunately, is proton-free.
Each compile is a bit faster.
