Everyone wants to use AI to write code. But if you don’t know how to drive, a more powerful engine won’t save you: it’ll just crash you faster. That’s why TDD becomes essential right now.

In this talk, we start from a simple premise: tests aren’t the point. The point is using TDD to build solid, clear, and controllable code; qualities that matter even more when an AI agent is generating your functions.

We’ll explore how TDD transforms the way you collaborate with AI, how it helps you avoid “creative” bugs, how it enables you to verify what the agent produces, and most importantly, how to use it to guide the AI instead of being at its mercy.

AI can write code blazingly fast. But without TDD, you’re racing blindfolded.
