Su-Sheethis is an interesting article about LLM generated code (an sqlite rewrite in rust) and the difference between "it works" and "it's good". also interesting database stuff :)

hajovonta@sushee This sentence is probably the most important in the article: "My conclusion is that LLMs work best when the user defines their acceptance criteria before the first line of code is generated."
I put together an IRC server for CL with TDD methodology. For a project this size, I found this is what works best.
JosephI haven't tried a strict TDD approach yet, but that's been an idea I've had since I've started to think about the best way to use it as a tool beyond just vibecoding.
Cool to see an actual attempt at it
@eccles
I have now a handful of projects at the same space made with TDD: cl-jsonpath, fast-csv, and a private one which is even bigger. This is the only one method that works. Tests define the api even before the implementation, provide continuous feedback and a roadmap. The author must be vigilant when designing the tests and during implementation because the LLM tends to do shortcuts sometimes, but otherwise it mostly smoothly guides development.
