that just seems like putting the same work into 'spec' i now put into code, but having to hope the ai produces something usable, and not like something that would save actual effort.
my boss is going to love that though...

It's like another attempt at programming with natural language, except using a non-deterministic black box.
They should call it Wish-BASIC (TM)
I’ve been trying to understand one of the latest AI coding buzzword: Spec-driven development (SDD).
writing a “spec” before writing code with AI
The spec becomes the source of truth for the human and the AI.
In other words, the specs are vibe coded and then this vibe coded spec is used to vibe code a program. How exciting.
Imagine thinking about what you’re going to code beforehand. What a world we live in!
