  1. 2026-05-03 / HACKER NEWSSpecsmaxxing — Developer Essay on AI Psychosis and Why YAML Specs Are the Primary Artifact in Agentic Coding — 191 PointsA practitioner essay on 'specsmaxxing' (obsessively writing detailed specifications) and 'AI psychosis' (the meta-loop of using AI to build AI harnesses instead of shipping product) gained 191 points and 214 comments on HN. The author argues for YAML-formatted feature specs with stable reference IDs ('ACIDs') that let agents tag code and tests to specific requirements. Core thesis: as code generation gets faster, specifications become the primary artifact worth maintaining. The 214-comment thread is a practitioner debate on spec-driven vs. conversation-driven AI development.
