There are few better examples of this issue than the term 'spec-driven development'. Although it's not new \u2014 its coinage precedes our current AI moment \u2014 it has become ubiquitous over the last six months or so as software professionals attempt to develop a vocabulary for talking about how they're developing methods for working successfully with coding agents. On this episode of the Technology Podcast, Birgitta B\u00f6ckeler is joined by Laura Tacho \u2014 Developer Experience at AWS \u2014 to discuss all things spec-driven development. From competing definitions to different interpretations, implementations and workflows, the discussion provides a frank and grounded look at one of the most discussed and debated terms in modern software engineering.
