Discover a practical approach to scaling AI-assisted coding beyond chaotic prompts and fragile prototypes in this 50-minute conference talk. Learn how Spec Driven Development (SDD) transforms AI coding from unmanageable freestyle prompting into a structured, collaborative process guided by human-readable specifications that capture intent, structure, and rules. Explore real-world examples demonstrating how specifications enable better code reuse, stronger test-driven guardrails, and smoother transitions when frameworks or requirements evolve. Master techniques for handling common SDD challenges including spec drift, refinement processes, and evolving abstractions while maintaining alignment between code and AI throughout ongoing iteration and team collaboration. Move beyond the limitations of copy-pasted prompts and inconsistent outputs to establish a scalable foundation for AI-powered development that supports refactoring and team-based workflows.
