You give your AI coding agent a task. It gets to work. Thirty tool calls later you have code — and it’s not what you needed. The agent understood the words but missed the intent. It made a dozen small decisions that individually seemed reasonable, and collectively built the wrong thing. This isn’t a capability […]
Read More →Spec-driven development treats a structured specification—not the codebase—as the system of record. This post maps who does what when you work that way: from turning product intent into an agent-readable spec, through API contracts and UI rules, to validation that implementation still matches what you wrote down. Table of contents Overview Spec-driven development (SDD) is […]
Read More →Vibe coding broke as fast as it shipped. Spec-Driven Development is the industry’s course correction — putting structured specs, not chat prompts, at the center of AI-assisted engineering. This post compares the leading SDD frameworks, their trade-offs, and when (or whether) to adopt one. Table of Contents Introduction: From Vibe Coding to Verified Intent In […]
Read More →If you’ve been building with LLMs over the last year, you’ve likely hit the “Agent Wall.” You build a cool agent, give it a massive system prompt, and it works… until it doesn’t. As you add more capabilities, the context window gets bloated, the agent gets confused, and porting that logic to another platform (like […]
Read More →As a software architect who has spent years wrestling with the “Big Three” of mobile automation—Appium, Espresso, and XCTest—I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen CI pipelines turn into a sea of red because of a missing Thread.sleep(). I’ve seen talented engineers spend 40% of their sprint just maintaining a brittle testing infrastructure. Mobile testing has historically […]
