The Evolution of AI Coding: From Vibe Coding to Spec-Driven Development

First-generation AI coders let you chat your way to code. Second-generation tools are discovering that coffee-shop conversations don’t build production systems.
Eighteen months ago, Cursor and Cline pioneered AI-assisted coding. You described what you wanted, the AI generated code and if you were lucky, it mostly worked. We called it “vibe coding” - casual, conversational and utterly inadequate for anything serious.Now we’re seeing the second wave. And it’s fundamentally different.
TL;DR: AI coding evolved from casual “vibe coding” through optimised assistants to spec-driven development. The frontier isn’t better code generation - it’s better specifications. And that only works if you have your ducks in a row. We help organisations get there.

AI Coding: The Emperor’s New Code

Six months ago, everyone said AI would replace developers. Today, most AI-generated code needs more debugging than writing from scratch.
The AI coding revolution was supposed to be here by now. GitHub Copilot would write our applications. ChatGPT would eliminate junior developers. Cursor would make senior developers 10x more productive.
Instead... we’re drowning in plausible-looking code that doesn’t quite work.
