Spec-First Engineering for Mission-Critical Systems with Claude Code | Jakub Walczakl | Agile Product Builders in 25 minutes

Episode notes

Spec-First Engineering for Mission-Critical Systems with Claude Code You’re no longer asking whether AI belongs in your development process. That debate is over. The real question is: what do we need to define before AI writes anything at all?. The real challenge? Moving from impressive demos to predictable, production-ready AI.Most AI-generated code fails not because of the AI itself, but because of vague requirements, missing edge cases, and no shared understanding of "done". In mission-critical systems, failure is simply not an option. In this focused session, Piotr Majchrzak, Co-CEO of Boldare , is joined by Jakub Walczak, Senior Software Engineer , to discuss Spec-First Engineering - a methodology that puts detailed specification before a single line of code is written.
