New Video from #TheEngineeringCoach!
Want to reduce bugs and get instant code review? My colleague Andrea Laforgia and I dive deep into Pair Programming.
We demonstrate Ping Pong TDD: the highly effective technique where the driver and navigator roles strictly rotate with the Red, Green, Refactor cycle. It's the ultimate guide for any engineer looking to boost collaboration and code quality immediately.
If you want to produce reliable software with AI, TDD is the answer. 💡
My new video is a live experiment: TDD with Claude. The rigid discipline of Red, Green, Refactor is the only way to successfully coach an AI, preventing it from producing unverified walls of code.
It shows that TDD isn't just surviving the AI revolution—it's leading it.

I'm looking to ensure #TheEngineeringCoach helps software engineers solve real problems and makes their work a bit easier with every video.
I want to hear from you! What are the topics I could cover—beyond core TDD—that would genuinely help you deliver high-quality applications at pace? Are you struggling with technical debt, dealing with legacy systems, or defining architecture?
What should I make a video about next?👇
Another recording day for #theEngineeringCoach. Today we are going to be trying something new for the channel
Any guesses what?
