I have a super simple spec-based workflow. It works amazingly well. I’m amazed how well coding agents can work through what I consider large features.

Last week, I gave a 471 line spec to implement a major feature and it didn’t flinch. I wrote about it here.

I am sorry but 471 lines is nothing in 2026. Come back when it has executed a 5000-10,000 line spec flawlessly, although the threshold keeps getting higher as the models get better. You're right though about a simple spec based workflow going far.

		Yeah - I'm sure folks have pushed it further than I have. But this is what I've seen with my own eyes as opposed to read from others. And even at 471, I'm impressed.
