Spec Driven Development Why your prompt chaos won’t scale

AI coding has come a long way — but relying on vibes, prompts, and prototypes quickly hits a wall. What starts as productive soon becomes unmanageable: fragile hacks, copy-pasted prompts, and inconsistent outputs that resist collaboration and refactoring.

This session introduces Spec Driven Development — a practical, scalable approach where AI coding is guided by human-readable specifications that capture intent, structure, and rules. You’ll see how moving beyond freestyle prompting enables better reuse, stronger tests-as-guardrails, and smoother transitions when frameworks or requirements change.

We’ll walk through real-world examples showing how specs help keep code and AI aligned — even during ongoing iteration and team collaboration. You’ll also learn how to handle common SDD challenges like spec drift, refinement, and evolving abstractions.

If you’ve ever felt like Copilot was helping you fly in circles, this talk offers a way to move forward — with direction.
