Join Dan Vega and DaShaun Carter for the latest updates from the Spring Ecosystem. In this episode, Dan and DaShaun are joined by Java Champion, Vaadin Champion, and Oracle ACE Pro Simon Martinelli to talk about Spec-Driven Development. With AI reshaping how we write code, Simon makes the case that requirements, not code, should be the single source of truth. We will explore what Spec-Driven Development looks like in practice, how it fits into a Java and Spring workflow, and how teams can use it to move from use case to running code with AI in the loop. You can participate in our live stream to ask questions or catch the replay on your preferred podcast platform.
