Can AI coding agents do Test-Driven Development (TDD) properly? They sure can!
In this week's video I take a look at two approaches: prompt engineering & using the tdd-guard library
We'll run an experiment and compare results:
Does it improve code/test quality?
What are other trade-offs?
How does tooling like tdd-guard work behind the covers?

LLMs have many ethical implications, and we decided to tackle them head on in this video, in the context of using AI assistants to generate code and other software development artifacts.
The brief:
The top issues for using LLMs for software development are: copying the whole internet to build the models, possible copyright infringement in generated code, environmental impac...

AI coding assistants promise 10x productivity gains. The research tells a different story.
Full breakdown here: https://youtu.be/MLSs8Asmthk
A question (or hope) that keeps popping up is whether or not LLM prompts will replace code, not simply generate it.
The short answer is no.
A slightly longer answer is that prompts will only ever replace code by having LLMs not behave like LLMs.
Everyone’s chasing that 10x boost from AI coding assistants. In my daily coding I get nowhere near that promised 10x. But in other areas it comes close!
Inside my Obsidian vault, AI is my aide. I built:
* Semantic search layer
* Interactive quizmaster based on my notes
* Reverse-engineering old slide decks to text

AI coding assistants not working for you because your legacy codebase is too big? There's a solution!
In this video I share one-click and FREE solutions that give Claude Code a staggering 30x performance boost when working in large codebases.
Every software engineer needs to be taking a serious look at what AI coding agents will mean for them. In this video we'll go over the essentials:
* What to learn
* Who to follow
* Which tools to pick and why
* How to get started
Hands on the wheel: live-blogging a claude code programming session
This post is an unvarnished look at what it's like to work with an AI assistant in real time. Not a curated demo. Not a sanitized GitHub Copilot ad. This is what actually happened when I paired with Claude code to work on a non-trivial codebase.
