Test-driven Development, AI, Pair Programming, Agile Testing
summary
Argues for writing tests first and using AI as a pair programmer, demonstrating live with Claude Code and a Cucumber TypeScript setup in VS Code; initializes a project, has the AI create step definitions and 12 bowling kata tests, implements the simplest green solution (return zero) then iterates to handle spares and strikes, runs npm test repeatedly, and notes flaky outputs, version/documentation mismatches, and occasional “AI slop” while ultimately producing passing tests and varied results each run.
