In the spec.

Hmm... my code is the spec. It just happens to be executable. Is writing a precise spec in English easier than in a programming language?

The spec contains ambiguities and the code contains bugs. Clarifying ambiguities in the spec with stakeholders, allows one to reduce bugs in the code.
