Your silly software factory is not proof that SDD works well in production. It is proof that it can produce software, and that’s a very low bar.

We’ve been using SDD at $workplace for more than a year and we’ve started to actively remove all spec documents so agents don’t get stuck reviewing out of date context for 20 minutes, burn through token budgets, and give disproportionate focus to legacy patterns and business directions we’ve pivoted from.

Models are RLHF’d to work on non-historical documentation and iterative design, and that’s what yields the best overall results.
