@mamouneyya @brentsimmons This might be fine for stand-alone products, but not for anything where you will want interoperability. Once the POC works, the expectation will be that other implementations will have to be bug-compatible. Having to write specs will greatly reduce the number of design bugs. Said another way, you can’t expect an agent to be nearly as good at seeing design bugs that affect interoperability as a human who has had to deal with someone else’s bad design decisions.

@paulehoffman @brentsimmons I may not have been clear, I’m primarily talking about user experience specs, the way new features in apps are typically defined. I’m not talking about protocol design or interoperability (which I don’t have enough experience with to judge). I see the POC as a way to experience the product for real. In my case, I’ve spent a lot of time debating details upfront, only to find much better answers once I had something working in my hands.
