℉ⅈℕℹℸℽSpec-driven development popped up in my feed and I realized: we don't get AI breakthroughs by sprinkling LLMs on old processes. We need to revisit our development practices from first principles. I wrote up why, and the questions I still have: https://blog.notmet.net/2026/03/spec-driven-development-might-be-the-process-reset-ai-needs/

Spec-Driven Development Might Be the Process Reset AI Needs
A recent Red Hat post about “specification-driven development” caught my interest. I’ve tried bolting AI onto my personal development practices. It doesn’t look like whispering an idea into an LLM then compiling the response… I can’t give the LLM my brain and have it replace all my work beyond the idea. I have had success when providing a description of the end result, then working alongside an agent to refine and move towards that result iteratively. For me, personally, that’s a significantly different pattern for development than usual.
