Spec-Driven Development is the hot new thing in vibe coding. Write a perfect spec, let the agent work, sit back. Sounds familiar? We called it Waterfall. We hated it. We sucked at it. Why do we think we're suddenly ready for it now?
A great meetup! For those unable to attend, here's the video:

As of when writing this post in the first days of April 2026, the vibe coding community is buzzing about "Spec-Driven Development." Write a perfect specification, let the AI agents loose, sit back, and watch the magic happen. Revolutionary, right? For me, it feels like a déjà vu from the 2000s. Back then, we called it Waterfall or V-Model. The idea was the same: define everything upfront, hand it over to the people who build it, and collect your finished product at the end.
Please join us on Thursday, April 23rd, 2026 as @mattwynne.net talks about using AI Tools to build his Yaks projects.

Did you know that, according to itjobswatch.co.uk, average salaries advertised for developers with 'TDD' are 14% higher.
Did you also know that I'm running Essential Code Craft workshops for self-funding learners, starting with 2-hour sessions on TDD in April?
