Elevator pitch

Tired of vibe coding and haunted APIs? Discover Spec-Driven Development with GitHub’s Spec Kit. Define specs first, generate code and tests automatically, and say goodbye to guesswork.

Faster, safer, and way less painful.

Abstract

Too many projects start with “I thought the API worked like this…” Welcome to vibe coding—where assumptions ship faster than features, and production bugs become your weekend plans. It’s time to break the cycle.

This talk introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD): a simple but powerful shift where specs come first, and code follows. With GitHub’s Spec Kit, you define behavior once, then generate clients, stubs, and tests automatically. No more “works on my machine”, no more haunted login buttons—just clean, predictable, aligned development.

Expect live demos, sharp insights, and a few laughs at the expense of vibe-driven disasters.

If you’ve ever built features on gut feelings and paid the price later, this session is your chance to flip the script. Come learn how SDD makes your code—and your life—simpler, safer, and saner.
