How much specification does a developer need?

Read Original

The article explores the role of specifications in software development, arguing that while clear specs prevent building the wrong software, excessive detail can harm architecture and usability. It emphasizes that good specs are short, focus on user intent and outcomes, and require developers to be close to users. It contrasts back-end and front-end needs, mentioning tools like Figma and Mockoon for design and API mocking.
