@cross @shriramk @lindsey @krismicinski @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek My understanding is that Waterfall in the most extreme sense means you can't go back to a previous phase (hence the name waterfall: it only goes in one direction). So in a technical sense, that feedback cycle isn't taking us back to waterfall. But will LLMs encourage a doc/spec-heavy style of development? Most people I know seem to think yes. In particular, the software architecture folks I know are excited about having a space to talk about architecture again. But what exactly those "specs" look like and how similar they will be to our current docs and specs is very much up for debate.

    @jschuster @cross @lindsey @krismicinski @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek Yeah, the waterfall analogy doesn't work for me at all. If we really want to go back to textbook software development methods, spiral is more like it.
