alt Hacker NewsCan someone tell me how this stuff is any different from the 90's let's use UML for code gen and how it's not going to fail in the same way?
In my experience, spec drift is the main reason why none of these tools work. Maybe they work for one shot greenfield feature generation but in a large, multi developer long lived code bases, specs rot and end up being more pain than they are worth.

I think the premise is that when agent modifies the code with human instruction explicitly saying spec has changed, the agent goes to the spec and updates it. But maybe giving it too much of credit and projecting what I think it should do.
The project evolution tracking argument does apply here, but another benefit is provides a standardized structure for planning and executing work that you can build your agentic code flows/loops around.
