Spec-Driven Development Might Be the Process Reset AI Needs

A recent Red Hat post about “specification-driven development” caught my interest. I’ve tried bolting AI onto my personal development practices. It doesn’t look like whispering an idea into an LLM then compiling the response… I can’t give the LLM my brain and have it replace all my work beyond the idea.

I have had success when providing a description of the end result, then working alongside an agent to refine and move towards that result iteratively. For me, personally, that’s a significantly different pattern for development than usual.
