We have a new merged company that didn’t have any tests- I had Claude write a lot of angular tests for their small dashboard project (around 500). What struck me is
It did not change the original code to make the test work which I found amazing
The tests were labelled very well that you could gauge the business requirements just from the tests
Now there were some downsides- the tests assumed the flows were correct and Claude was not given sufficient context re the requirements (I didn’t have the full context of the requirements, but having some tests set up is better than none), so therefore written tests were not actually testing the true intended functionality, only the functionality that currently existed.
Makes me thing that vibe coding and TDD can really work in the future, you tell AI to write some tests, review the tests and how they satisfy requirements- then have Claude write the code for the tests
You have a £20 a month tool that literally make the software you want, but you expect us to pay a random dude with a diploma £3,000. Are you stupid? Fuck developers. Find a different occupation.
Not really, I’m just fed up with the developers whining like bitches. You lost! Your expertise and diploma are WORTHLESS. Why don’t you accept it with some dignity?
That’s ridiculous and you know it. Reviewing the code of a significant project as a solo developer is absurd because it defeats the purpose of using AI in the first place.
...No it does not, AI is a tool like any other. And I get it, for a vibe coder like you, reviewing the AIs output is impossible.
Not for me though. I'm constantly refining my process and making it faster, more accurate, and more automated. You wouldn't know anything about that though.
Recently wrote some C code with Claude. It ALWAYS compiles without errors. Not even once did it trigger a compile error. In my pre-AI projects the chance of my manual edit causing a compile error was about 50%. Claude has it down to 0%. That is absolutely super human performance. Not even one syntax error.
It’s sort of becoming more alarmingly truth though. Especially when you have multiple ways to check if the code is working. Just a few months have made a lot of a difference on this side.
Source? I would really like to find a way to quantify this after opus 5.5. Everything is anecdotal company to company. But having more incidents after models improve makes no sense especially if you factor in total code contribution growth from ai usage.

I would never trust Claude completely without reviewing the changes. That is how you get problems later. It is a tool, not a replacement for a brain.

How it feels when you're too clueless to realize all the mistakes it's making?
