Ask HN: Spec-Driven Development where the specs go stale ?
2•reconstructapp•2h ago
Quick question on spec hygiene: when implementation naturally diverges, should we be updating the spec to reflect reality, or is the code intended to be the source of truth? I’m asking because we’re now tracking a very granular set of tasks in the repo, and I want to make sure our process scales without creating extra overhead. also I would assume the answer is yes we should change the specs but I feel like I see so many engineers at my company constantly write new specs causing conflicting specs sometimes.
