@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."

    @cross @jschuster @lindsey @krismicinski @jfdm @csgordon @jeremysiek Yes, I think this is actually much better than "hard mode" agile, TDD, etc. There's a picture I like to draw, that I attribute to Michael Jackson, but he doesn't remember drawing it, but I'll credit him for this thinking anyway. We have a world, we try to formalize it into a spec; turn the spec into a program; but then the program itself becomes an object in the world. ↵
