Simon Martinelli Explains Using System Use Cases as Specs for AI Code Generation

The author argues that system use cases, with actors, preconditions, scenarios, and acceptance criteria, work better than user stories as the input for AI code generation in enterprise business applications.

He describes a process that skips the plan-and-task phase, reverse-engineers legacy systems into use cases and entity models for modernization, and recommends self-contained system verticals and risk-based review.
