Why Faster AI Development Often Increases Rework | Cian Clarke

Vibe coding is only good at creating a sense of progress for devs.

In this episode of AI Native Dev, Cian Clarke, head of AI at Nearform, joins Simon Maple to talk about BMAD, their spec-driven approach that prioritizes clarity before code over prompt first development.

They also get into:
• speed upfront vs. maintainability over time
• why senior engineers gain leverage as junior pathways narrow
• the cultural shift needed to scale AI-generated software beyond solo builders
