Ryan talks with Deepak Singh, VP of Developer Agents and Experiences at AWS and lead at Kiro, about spec-driven development in a vibe coding world. They explore how AI tools have evolved from autocomplete to sophisticated agents that can write code based off of just specs, and how AWS has pioneered spec-driven development through their Kiro agent.  Episode notes: Kiro is AWS’ AI IDE that brings structure to AI coding with spec-driven development.  Connect with Deepak on the Kiro Discord server and read more about spec-driven development on The New Stack.  We last spoke to Deepak Singh in March about how enterprise-ready agents are. Congratulations to user Whymarrh for winning a Populist badge on their answer to Git commits are duplicated in the same branch after doing a rebase.  Learn more about the future of software engineering in the AI age on November 3rd, when our CEO, Prashanth Chandrasekar, speaks at a virtual OpenAI Forum.
