With that, I was referring to the definition in the article: "The spec is the main source file over time, and only the spec is edited by the human, the human never touches the code". That's how Specific works.

And I think that opens up a very interesting question about quality. If the human never touches the code, then "good code" gets replaced with "good specs" instead, and I don't think anybody knows what constitutes good specs in that context right now!

That is just so at odds with my way of thinking. The code is the spec -- the only spec that matters. The only way of describing the behavior that everyone can agree on the meaning of.

A design document can add color, but only the code tells you what the application does
