🔥 The Hot Take
The hype around AI coding agents is deafening, but the Superpowers toolkit hints at something real: spec-driven development. L&D needs to embrace this shift. Stop fearing AI taking jobs; start figuring out how to define learning objectives with machine precision. 'Vibe coding' instructional design is dead. Documented, measurable outcomes are the only way to stay relevant. Our value isn't in crafting content; it's in engineering effective learning experiences. Time to level up our specs.
As January winds down, two themes dominate L&D: practical AI applications and the enduring importance of human skills. The rise of AI-driven development demands a new level of precision in instructional design. Meanwhile, frameworks like SHINE remind us that technology is only as effective as the human capabilities that surround it.
