Spec-Driven Development: A Faster Way to Code
Session en Anglais - Intermédiaire
AI coding assistants excel at small tasks, but complex codebases require upfront thinking. This talk introduces spec-driven development as a way to scale AI for real features. You’ll see how tools like Kiro break work into planning, execution, and validation phases, explore real-world tradeoffs, and learn how to apply this approach to your own projects immediately.
