Podcast: No more spaghetti code, how SDD-Harness brings order to development with AI

The speed at which artificial intelligences can write code today is astonishing, but it comes with a very high hidden cost: **technical anarchy**. When multiple developers integrate AI agents into their daily workflows in an improvised manner, the result is often inconsistent code, silent regressions, undocumented patches, and an alarming loss of traceability. Ultimately, a new type of **"agentic spaghetti code"** that stifles long-term software maintainability. To solve this problem at its root, I designed **SDD-Harness**, a portable, language-agnostic command-line interface (CLI) framework that implements the **Spec-Driven Development (SDD)** methodology. The premise is as simple as it is inflexible: **no line of code is written without a formal, structured, and pre-validated technical specification**. Below, I share a deep dive into how the tool works and why agent governance is the indispensable step to scale AI-assisted software engineering.

Goodbye to Generic SaaS: How AI Drives Truly Useful Solutions for the Customer

The Software as a Service (SaaS) model has dominated the technological landscape, offering standardized solutions for a wide range of needs. However, its 'one-size-fits-all' approach is yielding ground to the rise of Artificial Intelligence development, which is creating hyper-personalized and truly useful tools. This evolution promises a new era of technological solutions focused on the specific needs of each client.

The Art of Estimating in the Age of AI: Beyond the Lines of Code

Artificial intelligence is redefining software development, transforming development hours into 'AI tokens' and creating a dilemma in estimations. Both clients and developers face a new paradigm: how do we value work when the machine generates the code? This article explores how we should approach quotes today, focusing on strategic value and experience.
