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

  Write tests (plural) first, as in write more than one failing test before making it pass?

    Time to look up TDD, my friend.

      One of today's lucky 10,000. His mind is about to expand beyond imagination.

        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...

          Well, you lucky-10,000'd people who didn't know about the 10,000 thing. That's not nothing.

      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 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.

        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.
