How Spec-Driven Development Is Changing the Way We Program

Generating code via chat is fine for prototypes, but in real projects it leads to hallucinations and technical debt. Debugging AI now often takes more time than writing code itself. The industry is moving toward Spec-Driven Development (SDD). In this talk, we will explore how to replace vague prompts with structured specifications written in Markdown. You will learn how to define clear contracts to govern AI agents, reduce context rot, and produce verifiable code on the first attempt—stopping the need to rewrite everything from scratch.
