@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.

    @shriramk @jschuster @lindsey @krismicinski@types.pl @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek it's not meant to be exact. The point being, one develops a very thorough spec before ever attempting to generate a line of code, and spec writing becomes a major focus of the process, with a spec as one of the primary artifacts produced. I never tried Spiral (for that matter, I was never _really_ subjected to Waterfall in its full glory, either), but if you feel that fits better, good to go. In a chat with some colleagues yesterday, most of them were saying that, when using LLMs, they're spending most of their time writing very precise specifications in the form of "prompts." I find that interesting, and very different from from the Agile world of "yolo just write some code, amirite, bruh? lmao."
