Curated 8 talks from Devoxx 2025 related to spec-driven development for writing better code with AI. Kudos to Stephan Janssen for another great edition.
- Spec Driven Development: Why Your Prompt Chaos Won’t Scale — Simon Maple
- Generative AI: Tech du Jour or the Next Big Thing? — Massimo Re Ferrè
- Backlog.md: Reaching 95% Task Success Rate with AI Agents — Alexandru Gavrilescu
- The New AI Native Dev Coding Workflow — Patrick Debois
- Spec Driven Development with Kiro: Vibe Coding with Guardrails — Kevin A. & Adriaan de Jonge
- RoboCoders: Judgment Day – AI IDEs Face Off — Baruch Sadogursky & Viktor Gamov
- Vibe Coding Your Way into a Security Nightmare — Arjen Wiersma
- Understanding Prompt Injection Techniques, Challenges, and Advanced Escalation — Brian Vermeer
The talks tackle spec-driven development from different layers of the stack — from specs and versioned guardrails to AI-assisted IDEs and security concerns. The open question: when do runtime validation and observability become part of this picture?
