@kerfuffle @moreentropy The general direction of the concerns were right, but the _detail_ of emerging best practice is new (at least to me) and not what I would have guessed.
For example, to paraphrase one of the commentators, we are seeing a return to the specification as the key to a software project.
I did not expect AI to revive the waterfall project dev method ;-) ( to be fair my friend strenuously objects to that characterisation!)

@steely_glint @moreentropy This has been a persistent misinterpretation of both waterfall and agile. The waterfall problem is a lack of feedback loops and an inability to adapt at the budget and management level. The myth that you don't have to care about specifications in agile is a shortsighted read of "working software over comprehensive documentation". Those in the DDD-community have always known this, and it's interesting to see how they are using AI.
