Coding agents are overturning Joel Spolsky's 25-year-old 'never rewrite' rule, as regenerating code becomes cheaper than reviewing it, according to an essay by Seoul-based developer Hichoi-Dev. The ne…
A developer argues that AI-generated code has made code review the bottleneck, as reviewers must supply all domain knowledge that the AI lacks. The post proposes replacing human review with machine-ch…
Andrej Karpathy introduced "agentic engineering" at Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent event in February 2026, defining it as "the professional discipline of coordinating fallible agents while preserving cor…
Spec driven development, a workflow that makes the specification the source of truth for AI coding agents, is gaining traction but risks becoming waterfall with a chatbot, according to a developer's a…
GitHub Spec Kit, an extensible intent-driven harness for coding agents, ships with a built-in Spec-Driven Development process (Spec → Plan → Tasks → Implement) and supports 35 integrations including C…
GitHub Spec Kit, AWS Kiro, and Claude Code workflows implement Spec-Driven Development with different trade-offs in portability, integration depth, and process enforcement. GitHub Spec Kit offers port…
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is a workflow that moves through five phases—requirements, design, tasks, implementation, and validation—each producing reviewable artifacts to reduce ambiguity before co…
A developer introduces a method to anchor software specifications to code using ast-grep structural rules instead of file paths and line numbers, preventing spec drift during refactors. The approach u…
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is emerging as a workflow where a versioned specification serves as the source of truth for AI coding agents, addressing the ephemeral nature of prompts. The approach inv…
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) has emerged as a disciplined alternative to vibe coding for AI-assisted software development, with tools like GitHub Spec Kit and Kiro implementing the approach. Proponen…
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) has gone mainstream in 2026 as a disciplined counterweight to 'vibe coding,' making precise executable specifications the source of truth while treating code as a generat…
AI coding agents now edit repositories, run commands, and produce branches, making the specification before the work more critical. The spec carries the context, boundaries, and success criteria the a…
Microsoft has introduced Spec-Driven Development (SDD), a spec-first approach to AI-native engineering that uses structured specifications as a shared source of truth for humans and AI. The approach a…
GitHub Spec Kit and Google Antigravity have introduced a six-step Spec-Driven Development (SDD) process that transforms software specifications into executable code, moving beyond traditional "vibe co…
GitHub open-sourced Spec Kit, a toolkit that forces AI coding agents to create a structured specification before writing any code, requiring them to ask clarifying questions and plan architecture firs…
