I can still recall the sneering smarmy faces of #agile #zealots hissing about "big up front #design" when asked to do ***any**** form of design before writing code. *

*These are now the same zealots that proclaim the virtues of #spec-driven development and how "all the hard decisions on design are handled first" in the #spec. #irony*

Writing #Spec or #Skill for a stochastic parrot:

"chatgepete, build me an enterprise-grade application with zero bugs, military-grade security, and a dark mode. make no mistakes pls."

It's not like we spent 70 years building formal languages to describe executable behavior computers can actually understand, validate, and run deterministically or anything…

That would be silly.
