Vibe coding needs a spec, too

Ryan talks with Deepak Singh, VP of Developer Agents and Experiences at AWS and lead at Kiro, about spec-driven development in a vibe coding world. They explore how AI tools have evolved from autocomplete to sophisticated agents that can write code based off of just specs, and how AWS has pioneered spec-driven development through their Kiro agent.

Episode notes:

Kiro is AWS’ AI IDE that brings structure to AI coding with spec-driven development.

Connect with Deepak on the Kiro Discord server and read more about spec-driven development on The New Stack.

We last spoke to Deepak Singh in March about how enterprise-ready agents are.
