alt Hacker News"LLMs won’t magically make you deliver production-ready code"
Either I'm extremely lucky or I was lucky to find the guy who said it must all be test driven and guided by the usual principles of DRY etc. Claude Code works absolutely fantastically nine out of 10 times and when it doesn't we just roll back the three hours of nonsense it did postpone this feature or give it extra guidance.
I'm beginning to suspect robust automated tests may be one of the single strongest indicators for if you're going to have a good time with LLM coding agents or not.
If there's a test suite for the thing to run it's SO much less likely to break other features when it's working. Plus it can read the tests and use them to get a good idea about how everything is supposed to work already.
Telling Claude to write the test first, then execute it and watch it fail, then write the implementation has been giving me really great results.
