#SoftwareSpecifications can now serve as a dynamic source of truth, as LLM-based reasoning agents become better at interpreting human ambiguity.

The catch? #LLMs are stochastic and must be constrained.

Enter #ContextEngineering - a structured discipline focused on providing clear intent and missing instructions to AI models.

It relies heavily on context artifacts, including: ⇨ Skills ⇨ Rules ⇨ Scripts ⇨ Feedback loops ⇨ Evaluation metrics

Spec-driven development se stal jednou z nejviditelnějších odpovědí na vibe coding. Kiro od AWS, GitHub Spec Kit a Tessl ale pod stejným názvem dělají odlišné věci. Článek rozebírá, co SDD skutečně je, kde má smysl a kde jen přesouvá práci z kódu do Markdownu.

#SpecDrivenDevelopment helps align intent between humans & AI, but enterprise adoption requires cultural change, workflow integration, and scalable collaboration patterns.

Kotlin creator, Andrey Breslav, said at #Codemotion Madrid that the future of software engineering lies with spec-driven development (SDD). In essence, the boilerplate coding tasks will be taken care of by AI, and we'll all be doing architecture and design stuff, in higher levels of abstraction.

In that context, I'm proud of #Kiro, the open source project developed by AWS, which brings a great SDD tool for developers:

Agoda: #AICodingTools boost individual developer output - but overall project velocity hasn’t jumped much.

Why❓ Coding was never the main bottleneck ❗

The new bottlenecks:
⇨ Specification
⇨ Verification
⇨ Human judgment

Spec-driven development popped up in my feed and I realized: we don't get AI breakthroughs by sprinkling LLMs on old processes. We need to revisit our development practices from first principles. I wrote up why, and the questions I still have: https://blog.notmet.net/2026/03/spec-driven-development-might-be-the-process-reset-ai-needs/

AI Coding Assistants and Agents are changing the way software is created, but developers have been expected to learn how to use them without any guidance. As managers push developers into adopting these tools how are they expected to avoid the dangers and pitfalls of vibe coding? In this post I take a high level look at the tools and practices developers can use to move quickly with AI without wanting to set their code bases on fire.

#SpecDrivenDevelopment is transforming AI-augmented software delivery — moving from Tactical Prompting ⇨ Collaborative Intent Articulation.

But the transition isn't seamless. Enterprises still face hurdles in:
• Multi-repo coordination
• Workflow integration
• Cross-functional collaboration

Sustainable adoption requires treating specs as living, shared interfaces - not just static documents.

#SoftwareArchitecture

#SpecDrivenDevelopment flips traditional architecture by making specs executable & authoritative.

Declared intent - validated code via AI-assisted generation, delivering real architectural determinism.

Continuous enforcement kills drift - but demands stronger schema design & contract-first discipline.
