Brief
Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents is a deeplearning.ai short course announced by Andrew Ng on 2026-04-15, partnered with JetBrains and taught by Paul Weveritt. It teaches writing detailed specifications to give coding agents context, controlling large code changes with minimal prompts, running iterative plan–implement–validate loops, adapting to legacy code, and packaging workflows as portable agent skills.
Why it matters
Andrew Ng announced on 2026-04-15 a new deeplearning.ai short course, 'Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents', built in partnership with JetBrains and taught by Paul Weveritt (@paulweveritt).
Key details
- The course advocates writing detailed specs that define mission, tech stack, and roadmap so coding agents have the necessary context; Ng claims this lets you 'control large code changes with a few words' and preserve context across agent sessions.
- Students will learn to plan, implement, and validate features in iterative loops, apply the spec-driven workflow to both new and legacy codebases, and package that workflow into a portable agent skill that works across agents and IDEs.
