The first programs were written in binary/hexadecimal, and only later did we invent coding languages to convert between human readable code and binary machine code.
So why can’t we just do the same thing in reverse? I hear a lot about devices from audio streaming to footware rendered useless by abandonware. Couldn’t a very smart person (or AI) just take the existing program and turn it into code?

Assuming you have all the source code… it is possible. It’s usually a huge pain in the ass though and software is so complicated that it’s extremely difficult to get anything useful.
