My continued experimentation with spec-driven development has made me examine this AI revolution/circus with fresh eyes. If we equate the broad commercialization of Gen AI and LLMs to other seminal events - like the broad commercialization of the internet, the invention of the A-bomb, the implementation of agriculture, or any other wildly hyperbolic comparison - then the tooling creation we're seeing now is the greater refinement of the engineering practice around the base concepts.
