AI Isn’t My Pair Programmer. It’s My Intern. And It Has to Pass My Tests.
SMRTR summary
A software developer suggests using AI coding assistants like Cursor and Copilot more efficiently by writing tests first and then using AI to pass those tests. This approach, instead of relying on AI to generate entire features, ensures focused, clean code that meets specific requirements without unnecessary complexity. The method has been successfully implemented in building UserJot, a large TypeScript/Node project, demonstrating its effectiveness in creating maintainable code while leveraging AI's speed benefits.
