On Tuesday November 18th at the AWS User Group Oslo Meetup I shared my views on why builders should pivot from Vibe Coding to Spec-Driven Development with Kiro.
Highlights
- How AI assistants are transforming the Software Development Lifecycle (all code, not only frontend and backend, Infrastructure-as-Code as well)
- Introduction to Vibe Coding, the good and the not so good parts
- How traditional and established software craftmanship is becoming more relevant than ever
- How Kiro and the Spec-Driven Development workflow helps bring more structure, quality and speed
- A practical demonstration; adding a new feature to a serverless weather forecast application, deployed on AWS with Terraform and GitHub Actions
- Best practices for specs, agent steering context, MCP and token optimization based on my experience
- Predictions for the future
You can find the slides below. Thanks to AWS Community Builders and the Amazon Kiro team for valuable insights and supporting material.
