I’ve been experimenting with Specification-Driven Development (SDD) and it feels like the logical next step is to take this concept beyond software. We are moving toward a model where the specification itself becomes the executable source of truth.

In this post, I explore why this isn't just a new way to write code, but a blueprint for "The Programmable Enterprise." If we can use the Reason → Plan → Act loop (and protocols like MCP) to turn a markdown spec into a product, why wouldn't we apply that same logic to business operations?

The question is: If our business logic becomes a specification that agents execute, at what point does "Strategy" simply become a codebase that we compile?


We have a word for a specification precise enough for a computer to execute: that word is “code”


well written intent can compile into code. This is just about shifting left with the design.


You know I think I'll let E.W. Dijkstra say it for me. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD667...
