Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday

The concept
Discipline + clarity for AI-assisted development. Specifications as single source of truth. Direct contrast with unstructured "vibe coding."
Why it matters
Vibe coding doesn't scale. Specs make AI-generated code reviewable, maintainable, auditable.
The hard parts
Writing good specs is harder than writing good code. Most engineers haven't been trained for it.
Playbook moves
(1) Pair junior + senior on spec authoring initially. (2) Review specs as code. (3) Version them in the repo alongside the artefacts they generate.
The surprise
Spec-driven development surfaces spec quality immediately — bad specs produce visibly bad code. That's a feature. Use it as a forcing function for product clarity rather than an inconvenience. ---
