I’m confident that going forward, software engineers will need to relearn how to create detailed tech specs for complex changes. It’s also likely that AI will help write and review these specs before implementing them. It’s time to embrace tech specs again because they can be a key to advancing your career.
Tech (or Design) documents are a good idea no matter what, and it’s interesting that AI tools are what is making them more popular again. But not surprising. Everybody works best with lots of context and a plan.
