I tend to agree with bbor. I use the agent to build the spec, usually from unfiltered audio to text data dump. The spec also allows you to manage context by pre-defining scope. I would argue managing context is more important than a spec at a certain quality level of the spec. A high-quality spec should inherently help manage context. If you are leaning into full end to end automation, there is no substitute. I'm not sure "better" is the lens. A more capable model also has more paths of interpretation that it can conceivably take based on the framing of your rough goal.

All of these types of reports are so over generalized to have zero value if not negative value.

Its also neccessary in many cases using any PCIe device with BAR-addressable memory on-board above the threshold, not just vram.

There is no spoon.
We have a remarkable tendency to believe that our particular technological moment is somehow unprecedented. Locke's labor mixing never required kinetic effects. Talent, skill, judgment, creativity, effort, and, more importantly, time; were always part of the concept.
Perhaps the mistake is not that technology ever changed what is valued, but that we have.
