[Presencial]NerdZão#241 - Spec Driven Development
## \*\*Esse evento é aberto, todas as pessoas são bem recebidas!! \*\*
Este primeiro meetup do ano vai apresentar o **Spec Driven Development (SDD)**, uma abordagem em que a especificação vem antes de qualquer linha de código e passa a ser a fonte única de verdade de um sistema ou feature.
Em vez de começar programando e só depois documentar, a ideia é mostrar como definir contratos claros (APIs, regras de negócio, critérios de aceitação) que guiam desenvolvimento, testes e até o uso de IA na geração de código, reduzindo ambiguidades, retrabalho e aquele “vibe coding” difícil de manter em escala.
Nesse encontro vamos explicar o conceito, o contexto em torno de IA e engenharia moderna, benefícios práticos para times de produto e exemplos de como dar os primeiros passos com SDD em projetos reais.
Agradecemos imensamente a **Mercado Eletrônico** por apoiar a comunidade e tornarem este encontro possível!
Por ser um tema novo, muito procurado e esse evento ter espaço limitado, apenas confirme se você tem **100%** de certeza de que irá comparecer.
Uma boa notícia para os palestrantes de plantão, **Call For Papers Aberto!!** Então você que tem aquela palestra preparada ou até mesmo você que sempre quis palestrar e nunca teve oportunidade de falar sobre o tema, esse é o seu momento!
[Clique aqui ](https://forms.gle/BqzKKUb2VR6Rq8MXA)e submeta agora seu talk! Estamos ansiosos aguardando!
O evento é gratuito, menores de 18 anos deverão ser acompanhados pelos seus responsáveis e a apresentação do **DOCUMENTO** é **OBRIGATÓRIA** .

**18h30 - 19h00** : Credenciamento e abertura NerdZão (15min)

What to Expect
1. Once you arrive, everyone picks their own bracelet. Red for advanced, Yellow for intermediate and White for beginners. This will help me give you question cards that are made for your level.
2. **Pick & Go:** Pick a **question card** and a partner.
3. **Walk & Chat:** Get to know each other using the question as a conversation starter.
4. **Switch Pairs:** Every 1km, we'll switch partners.
5. **Post-walk Hydration at Kiosk do Hulk:** After every walk and talk we stop at Kiosk do Hulk and have some coconut water and have free open conversation!

** Pro Tip:**
The best convos mix the question + your own twists! Try:
*“That’s fascinating—why do you think you feel that way?”*
** Goal:**
Practice English, challenge yourself and leave with **new connections**, and who knows, maybe some**fresh perspectives**.
**That's it! Send me a message if you have any questions!**

Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
