It's impossible. You are lying.

If you developed software, you should know "the tech specs and all" is never finalized, the requirements are always changed, when you are developing it, the specs or details are changed or improved.

Hmm. None of us in our team has written hand written code for almost an year now. We don't really find the need anymore.

Pretty much defining tech spec and getting it implemented by breaking through tickets are more than enough.

There might be bugs. Wbut we catch it through testing and get it merged while building.
