Hari Krishnan is developing OpenSpec for spec driven development

Hari Krishnan is working on OpenSpec - an implementation of a "spec anchored" spec driven development framework centred around capturing intent. He writes about Gen AI adoption at intent-driven.dev Things we talked about Birgitta Böckeler’s article "Understanding Spec-Driven-Development: Kiro, spec-kit, and Tessl": https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html Lost in the Middle: https://cs.stanford.edu/~nfliu/papers/lost-in-the-middle.arxiv2023.pdf Tessl: https://docs.tessl.io/use/spec-driven-development-with-tessl (Birgitta’s article linked to a now broken link in docs.tessl.io) 00:00 Introduction to AI and Development Practices 02:01 Understanding Intent-Driven Development 04:46 Formalizing Intent and Context in Development 07:11 The Role of Tools in Spectrum Development 10:17 Exploring OpenSpec and Its Unique Features 12:57 Comparing Tools: Kero, SpecKit, and OpenSpec 15:32 Spec as Source: The Future of Development 23:21 Navigating Testing and Development Tools 25:15 Understanding Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) 27:24 Exploring Coding Tools and Workflows 29:52 Implementing Guardrails in Development 32:02 Designing with AI: Enhancements and Challenges 33:41 Cultural Shifts in AI-Driven Development 36:56 Intent-Driven Development and Dark Factories 46:04 Generative AI's Impact on Deployment and Infrastructure 54:21 Reflections on Change and Growth
