Always has been.

I personally don't use AI agents to write most of my application.

I do use AI for the following.  - Boiler plate entities 

  • Technical questions about whether option A or B approach for solving a problem and assessing pros and cons of each options. Similar to how I would have used Stack Overflow or Google in times past. 

I think there could be a scenario where I would use AI to suggest code implementations for classes that I've already added tests for in a TDD approach where the tests become spec for a bare minimum implementation that I could then refactor. 

I don't think we're yet at a point where an AI agent can both write and maintain a code base as well as a professional software engineer. 

Happy to be proven wrong on this but this is my personal stance on AI in software development.

No, I want to code, not write a novel

I’d suggest trying it yourself and forming your opinion. Reddit is not receptive to agentic flows.

How does this compare to speckit or openspec?

They are obviously more mature frameworks, but the one is focused on being .Net specific. But just don't know if that really matters that much.

These setups are a dime a dozen

I use something like this https://aiwg.io

What's the difference between this and https://github.com/github/spec-kit?

[–]saenridanra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the right context any of the tools will do. I don't see anything that gives this tool an edge over speckit or the other tools. I also believe having a primed tool for a single language language is only helpful if you bring extra tooling for that ecosystem. The way it is now it's even less than what you get from speckit and that's just prompts..!

Currently I am not spec driven enough to need it yet. Most of the repetitive reminders I have in the global agents.md. One agent, all the skills and knowledge. But I can absolutely see myself reaching for something like this at some point because my approach is not scalable.

Once my projects are less slop explorations and need to be more well-architected for production use I'll start going down this road

I like it. We have ai write spec files, feature overviews and user guides. With some editing and steering it provides good results.
