Cian Clarke - From Vibe Coding to Spec-Driven Development | DevCon Fall 2025

At Nearform, we see Spec-Driven Development (SDD) as the blueprint for progressive delivery in the AI-native era. By applying a SDD methodology on some real customer projects, we’ve accelerated delivery with leaner teams & tested the limits of this methodology along the way. In this talk, I’ll share why SDD excites us far more than "vibe coding" ever did. I'll show: How we've found it to deliver greater predictability, completeness, and context-aware outputs, with examples of vibe coding shortcomings that SDD has solved for How codifying the traditional roles of a software team as agentic roles produces more reliable, repeatable results, with examples of how an explicit QA step + context window overcomes many traditional under-completeness reporting challenges How we leverage multiple human-in-the-loop drivers of agents coordinate on a single project using git How we make SDD fit into the enterprise development cycle through use of MCP connectivity, giving more transparency into the work of agents We'll also share some of the warts: The types of projects this new development paradigm proved not yet ready to tackle Challenges we've seen to adoption across teams & how to nurture a culture where AI native development isn't a threat Attendees will leave with concrete learnings testing the bounds of what's possible with spec driven development on larger enterprise projects.
