This approach, while effective for rapid prototyping, creates brittle, unmaintainable software in production environments due to issues like context window paradoxes and a lack of unified mental models. Experts advocate for more structured methodologies like Spec-Driven Development (SDD) to engineer robust AI-assisted software, contrasting it with the AI
