O'Reilly Argues the Bottleneck in Agentic Development Is Deciding What "Correct" Means
Stack Overflow's dispatch from O'Reilly makes the case that once code generation is cheap, the scarce work moves to writing just enough specification and building a reliable way to check the result. The argument is against both extremes: exhaustive up-front specs waste the speed advantage, and no spec at all leaves nothing to verify against. It lands on the same point as the spec-driven-development practice showing up across agent harnesses, which makes it a useful check on whether your own agent loop has a verification step or just a generation step.
