Spec Driven Development: The End of Vibe Coding
Developers now create entire applications by simply chatting with AI tools. More and more startups rely on predominantly AI-generated code. But what initially thrilled developers quickly leads to frustration: generic code, poor architecture, and security vulnerabilities.
In this talk, I demonstrate how Spec Driven Development (SDD) solves these problems. Instead of coding first and documenting later, SDD begins with precise specifications as the "single source of truth." Various tools and CLIs make this methodology practically applicable today with a structured 4-phase approach: Specify, Plan, Tasks, Implement.
Using a real project, I show how SDD works with modern AI coding tools. I share honest insights from hands-on experience: where SDD excels, where it fails, and whether the specification overhead actually leads to better results.
Attendees will learn when SDD makes sense, which tools are available, how to integrate this methodology into existing workflows, and why structured AI development could shape the future.
Key takeaways: Practical SDD implementation, tool ecosystem overview, real-world examples, and critical evaluation of specification-driven AI development.
AI tools are revolutionizing software development, but "vibe coding" often leads to poor code quality. This talk introduces Spec Driven Development (SDD) as a structured alternative where precise specifications serve as the "single source of truth." Using practical examples and live demos, I present the 4-phase approach (Specify, Plan, Tasks, Implement) and available tools. Attendees learn when SDD makes sense and how to integrate structured AI development into existing workflows. Suitable for developers, tech leads, and architects. Technical requirements: projector and internet connection for live demonstrations. Preferred duration: 45 minutes including Q&A.
