Spec-Driven Development: When the Spec Is Too Big

I had a spec, I had GitHub Copilot Pro+! A new billing period with fresh credits has begun. So I started to refurbish my Expense Management system. In detail, I was building with a fresh spec that should rebuild the whole system in one run. And yes, that was the problem. Everything looked good. Copilot credits were melting away during implementation. Some hours later I had my first results. The Azure portal showed me what was there. Content Understanding analyzers:…

Most developers I know have been here. They type a detailed prompt into their AI agent. The output looks right.

Stop Coding. Start Building from Specs.

I haven’t written a line of code since January. Not because I couldn’t. I stopped because spec-driven development showed me I was spending time on the wrong part of the job. Today, it is easy to type “build me XYZ” and get code in seconds. I did that too. Sometimes the result looked great. Then I ran the same prompt again and got something different. Logic shifted. Edge cases disappeared. The output stopped being predictable. The turning point came when…

My fingers became the bottleneck. Then I thought: why am I typing when I could be talking? I opened Copilot Chat and looked for a microphone. Nothing. Turns out there’s a small extension you need: “VS Code Speech for Copilot.” I installed it and the microphone appeared. But then I discovered something better. The…

Prompty for VS Code!

Prompty for VS Code!

I love developing and prototyping AI solutions. For that reason, I’m always looking for new tools that help me streamline this process. What should I say? I have found a new friend in VS Code. Yes, I recently discovered Prompty – a new extension for VS Code developed by Microsoft. But what is the difference of Prompty to other extensions such as Prompt flow for VS Code? The answer is simple. Prompty standardizes how I can specify, develop, run, and…
