Ironically, I think only technical people would even want to do something like that. The less technical you get, the more high level (and ambitious) you need to go.

You can see this a lot in game dev questions. Beginner questions will be "How do I make an MMORPG?" and the more advanced questions will be "how do I return x from y" or whatever, and then it scales between the two ends of the spectrum.




There's plenty of technical people who don't code — like, in your example, a game designer.
