Mainly get good at describing what you want.

I think tests are good way of doing that, or some special requirements language will emerge that AI agents can use. I don't think English is particularly good way of describing things exactly. It often has ambiguous meanings which is where the bugs will come from.

How is code not just exactly that special requirements language you are looking for?

It's more about defining outcomes exactly rather than a sequence of exact steps.

So, a declarative language describing a target state (versus how to get there), like the one used for Terraform, but for product behavior?
