My session - From Vibe Coding to Spec-Driven Development with Spec Kit

Spec-Driven Development flips AI coding from guesswork to building exactly what’s needed.

In this lightning talk, I’ll share how Spec Kit turns clear specs into executable plans and working applications, giving AI coding agents the context and constraints they need to ship value that stays aligned with the business and the customer.

• Location: North Javits Center, 429 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001
• Format: Lightning Talk 2 (Hub, Level 3, Javits North)
