How can you own the design if you don't know what your design actually does?

This idea is being pushed to increase sunk costs IMO. We are told to spend huge amount of time writing specs, behaviour tests, AGENTS.md and prompts.

Pinky promise that's enough to get good output.

Pinky promise we won't invent yet another body of work the whole industry must adopt to get good output.

Pinky promise the AI tool will properly read all your work

And then of course we are told you must never trust its output !? You must review all code it produces line by line and grok it fully !

And now we have: keep challenging it, keep rejecting it, keep interrogating it... That's just fancy words for spend more money (tokens)

I'd rather blowtorch my nipples off than yell at a computer all day
