Spec-Driven Development frameworks like Kiro and Spec-kit generate extensive Markdown documentation before coding, echoing Waterfall methodology. While promising structure for AI coding agents, this approach creates context blindness, excessive documentation review, and diminishing returns on large codebases. The author argues for Natural Language Development instead: an iterative, Agile-inspired approach where developers give coding agents simple, incremental instructions without formal specifications, enabling faster convergence toward working products.

yeah bro, this is called vibe coding and you end up with a mud ball of code no one understands, no one reviews and no one knows if it’s actually secure, scalable or effective.
No thanks.
