alt Hacker NewsThat’s my biggest critique of this. I am working on a project with another dev and I try to keep docs as clean and “straight to the point” as possible. In my previous team, one dev went full “spec driven” and the project started having dozens and dozens of markdown files with hundreds of lines to the point any human being would give up trying to trim it. It just becomes noise, a lot of it not even correct because the specs themselves were mostly AI generated with lots of verbosity and wrong assumptions.
I started writing specs recently in a directory that I don’t allow the agent to write to. There has to be somewhere that the engineering intention behind the app is recorded. But it’s terse, minimal and all human generated, not like “hey Claude, write me specs for an app”
