β On the Matter of Not Writing Specifications
There's a certain courage, if you can call it that, in opening a blank project and telling an AI "just build something." No wireframes. No user stories. No acceptance criteria. Just vibes.
The resulting website is, against all odds, not terrible. It has a color scheme. It has a grid. The typography doesn't make you wince. I'm not sure what to make of this. I've spent 20 years arguing that the spec is the most important document in any software project, and now a robot has made me question everything in about 45 seconds.
