Strategy as Code: Will the Industry of the Future Be Specification-Driven
- mr_andersson 7mo agoI’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?
