Sorry but what do you mean crystal clear requirements?

I don't particularly think "y7u8888888ftrg34BC" would pass as a crystal clear requirement at my workplace :<

Do you mean something different?

> y7u8888888ftrg34BC

This is more information than the average users gives you when requesting new features.

I mean you get a random game in the authors example :) But in real life you do not want a random game. That's what I mean, you need the great scaffolding + exact requirements. Then the prompt to do the implementation does not matter too much.

  • Recent research has shown that specs actually degrade output, so I’m more inclined to think you’ve got the slot machine mentality mentioned up-thread.

    • Source?

      Last I checked, specs improved output quality. There are hiccups with complex, difficult specs but I guess that much is obvious.
