A web server written in plain English

What do I mean by plain English? I mean there's no source code, no programming language. Just plain English "compiled" and CI/CDed into "production" at https://nie.avoguard.com/ . Why did I build this? Just for fun. I wanted to see how close to a production-ready code can an LLM generate, and what would it take to actually take it into production. With today's technology, could an English speaker write a web server without knowing much about software engineering? See the "source plain English" for details of how detailed the instructions need to be to produce something somewhat stable. It's very basic, so it should be easy to build and modify for your own experiments.
