Could you tell us a bit about the coding tools you use and how you go about interacting with Claude?","comments":[{"id":43164561,"user":"catherinewu","time":1740428908,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

We find that Claude is really good at test driven development, so we often ask Claude to write tests first and then ask Claude to iterate against the tests","comments":[{"id":43164780,"user":"Kerrick","time":1740430116,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Write tests (plural) first, as in write more than one failing test before making it pass?","comments":[{"id":43167085,"user":"zarmin","time":1740447603,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Time to look up TDD, my friend.","comments":[{"id":43173040,"user":"DrammBA","time":1740496949,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

One of today's lucky 10,000. His mind is about to expand beyond imagination.","comments":[{"id":43180000,"user":"DrammBA","time":1740537478,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

I wish I could delete my original comment now that I found out that Kerric wasn't a lucky 10,000, he's just an asshole...","comments":[{"id":43180953,"user":"zarmin","time":1740548141,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Well, you lucky-10,000'd people who didn't know about the 10,000 thing.

Time to actually read Test-Driven Development By Example, my friend. Or if you can't stomach reading a whole book, read this: https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/canon-tdd

TL;DR - If you're writing more than one failing test at a time, you are not doing Test-Driven Development.","comments":[{"id":43178829,"user":"zarmin","time":1740525860,"time_ago":"5 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

oh my god, your comment was just a setup for you to be pedantic? all discourse on the internet is worthless. i don't know why i keep engaging.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":4,"url":"item?id=43178829"}],"comments_count":1,"level":3,"url":"item?id=43175211"}],"comments_count":5,"level":2,"url":"item?id=43167085"}],"comments_count":6,"level":1,"url":"item?id=43164780"}],"comments_count":7,"level":0,"url":"item?id=43164561"}],"comments_count":8,"url":"item?id=43164322"}
