AI coding tools have gone from unknown to ubiquitous in the past couple of years. They're so easy to use that anyone can use them - but do you know how to use them well? 

We'll discuss the emerging practice of "spec-driven development" - an iterative process where the focus is on clearly written intent over personally writing every line of code. Most people assume when they start working with AI that the computer is smarter than they are.

In this talk, we'll show you why your job as a developer is to still stay deeply involved in the process - and how. We'll talk about the cognitive debt that arises when you've gone too deep in letting the AI be in charge, the code smells that develop when AI has taken over your architecture, how to be a good citizen when submitting an AI-generated PR, how much autonomy to allow your AI, and how to build a clear and repeatable process around your development practices by using intent-based specifications to keep the AI coding on track.
