Spec-Driven Development with AI
Rather than relying on vague prompts to AI coding agents, the spec-driven approach establishes clear specifications as "executable artifacts" that guide implementation through four phases: Specify, Plan, Tasks, and Implement.
The specification becomes the source of truth
Welcome to Gas Town
Steve Yegge explores the new world of AI-assisted development, where code generation is cheap and abundant like gasoline, fundamentally changing how we think about software engineering.
Code is now cheap like gasoline
The Trillion Dollar AI Software Development Stack
Generative AI is revolutionizing software development, with AI coding assistants and agentic tools transforming how 30 million developers plan, code, review, and deploy software worldwide.
$3 trillion yearly GDP contribution potential
Context Graphs: AI's Trillion-Dollar Opportunity
The next trillion-dollar platform opportunity lies not in traditional systems of record, but in capturing "decision traces"—the reasoning, exceptions, and precedents behind automated decisions.
Services as Software revolution
Modular Manifolds
Exploring how constraining neural network weight matrices to mathematical submanifolds maintains tensor health during training. Introduces "manifold Muon," a variant of the Muon optimizer designed for the Stiefel manifold.
Manifold optimization for neural networks

Voices from the Community
Andrej Karpathy
@karpathy
"The hottest new programming language is English. AI coding assistants are fundamentally changing how we think about software development."
Simon Willison
@simonw
"Every developer needs to understand: AI coding tools are not replacing programmers. They are amplifying what good programmers can do."
Guillermo Rauch
@rauchg
"The best AI dev tools are the ones that understand your codebase context. Without context, you are just generating generic code."
