Agreed. Specs are more important than ever. Constraints: types, contracts, protocols, schemas, APIs and such are what ground the boundaries of systems.
Without them, code drift is a guarantee.
Does anyone trust that a set of human sentences typed into a box is more reliable and precise than objectively exact descriptions of data?
This is not to diminish the utility of these code factories. But surely, if anything provides resistance to drift, it's codebase consistency, standards, and things which must objectively be true for the software to function.
