The “writing specs” culture is becoming ridiculous. It was necessary when the cost of building was high. It feels productive when you do it. But if you think about it, you can create a POC with an agent much faster than you can draft specs. And that POC will answer most questions about how the experience should actually work, far better than trying to predict every detail upfront in a document.

Product owners need to be closer to the creation. We need to change our mindset.

@mamouneyya So the spec is “cf. POC,” and you reverse engineer it to know what to do? Sounds like a great plan to get from a POC to a SPOC in no time indeed.

@oscherler @brentsimmons I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing.

@mamouneyya You seem to be talking about replacing the specification document for an application with a [poorly written] proof of concept.

I’ve been on a project where the spec for the web application was “like the old one, but better.” It’s not sustainable.
