Specs are becoming the new code.

@jedi.be just dropped his insights on spec-driven development, and it's essential reading for anyone building with AI agents. The core insight? We're shifting from telling AI how to code to describing what we want built.

AI models claim to be best at coding, but benchmarks don't tell the full story.

Adam Larson spent 2024-25 building custom tools to test these claims.

Nov 19 at DevCon NYC, Adam will share what actually matters when choosing AI coding tools — beyond the hype.

Bots follow scripts. Assistants wait for your commands. Agents act autonomously.

Prompts are temporary. Specs are forever.

OpenAI’s Sean Grove calls specs the “new code.” They force you to decide what good output looks like before you run the AI.

Think reusable clauses, version control, IDEs that validate your spec as you write. 🧵

AI coding tools are powerful, but without structure, they drift.

Claude Taskmaster attempts to fix that, and its growth has been explosive. In just 9 weeks the repo's jumped from 0 → 15,500 stars 🌟

Why code alone isn’t enough anymore 🚫💻

Most AI tools today just help us write more code, but the real shift is moving beyond code as the source of truth.

At our first London meetup, we dug into a better approach: spec-driven development.

Structure > force.

One structured prompt = same accuracy as eight unstructured ones (via Will Kurt, .txt).

For Claude Code users: clearer specs mean faster output, less context bloat, reusable prompts.

Agent-based coding ≠ just pair programming anymore.
We’re seeing something bigger:

▪️ Parallel agents handling subtasks
▪️ Isolated envs via git worktrees + containers
▪️ New UIs for merge + review

Parallel coding agents are changing the Developer workflow.

With tools like Claude code we are exploring parallelization strategies like using git worktrees and containers. All for us to review what we want while the agents do the hard work!
