With over 25 years of experience in enterprise software development and AI engineering, I explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we build, learn, and live with technology. I have an old passion for Open Source and more recent one for AI Engineering.

(Panel) Spec-Driven Development in the Age of Agents
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)
Room B3

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in software engineering. As AI

agents become capable of generating entire features, the bottleneck is

no longer writing syntax—it is defining intent. This evolution brings

Spec-Driven Development (SDD) back into the spotlight, not as a

bureaucratic documentation step, but as the primary interface for

software creation.

In this panel, we explore the reality of building software when you're

pair programming with an LLM. We will discuss the architectural

implications of moving from imperative coding to declarative

specifications. How do we define unambiguous requirements for

non-deterministic agents? Does "prompt engineering" evolve into rigorous

system design? Join us to discover if the Spec is truly the new Source

of Truth, or just another layer of abstraction to maintain in a world

where code is becoming a commodity.
