Everyone’s talking about spec-driven development. But is it just waterfall in markdown?

In issue #2 of my harness engineering newsletter, I break down what SDD actually is (and isn’t), why it matters even if you don’t like “writing”, when to spec vs vibe, and how to get the benefits without the ceremony.
