Doesn't seem like too efficient process, no? Seems to me like investment in better quality of the output is exactly what is needed here, wouldn't you agree?

I feel they sit of on the opposite end of the OP here. One wants to write out specs to control the agent implementation to achieve a one shot execution. Other side says: let’s won’t waste time of humans writing anything.

I’m personally torn. A lot of the spec talk and now here in combination with TDD etc feels like the pipe dreams of the mid 2000. There was this idea of the Architect role who writes UML and specs. And a normal engineer just fills in the gaps. Then there was TDD. Nothing against it personally. But trying to write code in test first approach when you don’t really have a clue how a specific platform/system/library works had tons of overhead. Also the side effect of code written in the most convenient way to be tested and not to be executed. All in all to throw this ideas together for AI now… But throwing tokens out of the window and hoping for the token lottery to generate the best PR is also not the right direction in my book. But somebody needs to investigate in both extremes I say.
