AI coding assistants promise incredible speed, but what happens when you run straight into a wall of buggy code and technical debt?
In this episode, Clare Sudbery, a software engineer with over 25 years of experience, discusses a crucial paradox for modern developers.
The secret to harnessing AI's power isn't to move faster, but to slow down. Clare explains why deliberate, rigorous practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD) are the essential "guardrails" needed to guide AI tools toward reliable, high-quality software. You'll learn why "more, smaller steps" is the key to tackling technical debt and how throwing your code away might be the most productive thing you do all week.
