Spec-Driven Development in React Native: an MVP that lists the world's earthquakes, specified before writing code

Un agente de código ya escribe una app funcional en una tarde. El problema dejó de ser producir el código y pasó a ser otro: el agente no escribe peor código sin una especificación, escribe un código excelente para el problema equivocado. Cada pregunta que no contestaste la contesta él con un valor por defecto razonable, y lo descubres semanas después. El Spec-Driven Development (SDD) ataca justo…

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is an approach that involves writing a specification for software before writing the code. This approach aims to address the issue of AI agents generating code that meets the wrong requirements. SDD involves creating three separate artifacts: a specification that outlines what the software should do and why, a technical plan that outlines how it will be implemented, and tasks that break down the work into verifiable units.

This approach allows for greater clarity and control over the development process, and can be used with or without specialized tools like GitHub's Spec Kit.

Spec-Driven Development in React Native: an MVP that lists the world's earthquakes, specified before writing code

A coding agent can already write a working app in an afternoon. The problem is no longer producing the code; it is something else: without a specification the agent doesn't write worse code, it writes…

  • Spec-Driven Development separates specification, technical plan, and tasks
  • For React Native MVP, specification defines desired earthquake listing functionality
  • SDD artifacts are version-controlled and persist beyond agent session

I shipped 245 pages of programmatic SEO. 190 of them have never had a single visitor.

Not "low traffic". Zero. In thirty days, across four whole content directories, not one human landed on any of them. I only found out because I stopped building for a day and actually read the…

  • 245 pages of programmatic SEO generated minimal traffic
  • 190 pages received zero visitors despite SEO optimization
  • Backlinks crucial for SEO despite author's lack of them

Why Confluence Cloud turns your SVG into a flat image

Short answer. An SVG file is not only a picture: it can carry links, scripts and references to outside resources. Rendering one live inside a page would let an attachment run code on your site, so…

  • SVG files in Confluence Cloud converted to flat images
  • Removal of interactive elements like links and scripts
  • Alternatives include diagramming apps or breaking diagrams into smaller pages

i wrote down ~100 public saas pricing pages so i'd stop guessing

I kept pricing off gut instinct + one competitor for way too long. You know the move. competitor is $29 so you're $19. or you're $49 because "premium." neither is a strategy.

  • Study examined 100 public SaaS pricing pages to avoid uninformed decisions
  • Found common pricing strategies: annual discounts, free tiers, varying structures
  • Pricing models varied widely based on product, target audience, and company
