Traditional SDLCs are obsolete for agentic coding. Current tools like Git are ill-suited for prompt-based workflows, leading to a decline in code quality and a need for new collaborative standards.
Impact: Organizations must reform their development processes and tooling to support agentic workflows, or risk producing low-quality, unmaintainable software that fails to meet business needs.

Spec-driven development reduces AI coding inefficiencies by replacing ambiguous prompts with structured, detailed documents. This allows agents to generate code with higher accuracy and less human iteration.
Impact: Significantly reduces development time and error rates, enabling faster feature delivery and lower operational costs.

Ocell is eliminating granular dev tickets in favor of full-stack ownership of product ideas. This leverages AI speed to allow engineers to build and verify features end-to-end.
Impact: Reduces handoff friction and increases product iteration velocity, allowing for faster market response.

AI-generated code now constitutes a significant portion of production software, necessitating a shift from detailed peer reviews to high-level architectural oversight. This change reduces review bottlenecks and accelerates deployment.
Impact: Increases development velocity and allows teams to manage higher code volumes without proportional increases in review time.
