I’m very confused by this as in my domain space I’ve been able to nearly one-shot most coding assignments since this summer (really Sonnet3.5h) by pointing specific models at well-specified requirements. Things like breaking down a long functional or technical spec document into individual tasks, implementing, testing, deployment and change management. Yes, it’s rather straightforward scripting, like automation on Salesforce. That work is toast and spec-driven development will surge as people go more hands-off the direct manipulation of symbols representing machine instructions, on average.

There is vast difference between writing glue code and engineering systems. Who will come up with the next Spring Boot, Go, Rust, io_uring, or whatever, once the profession has completely reduced itself to pleasing short outcomes?

Same was asked of many transitions to a higher abstraction level. Who will know how to use Libraries if they google everything?

Maybe some day we'll collectively figure it out. I'm confused how people are getting so much success out of it. That hasn't been my experience. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Try using the brainstorming and execute plan loops with the superpowers plugin in Claude Code. It encapsulates the spec driven development process fairly well.
