TDD is the BEST way to code with AI. 🤝

​I put Claude to the test building a flight endpoint. The experiment proves TDD's strict steps are the perfect framework for reliable AI collaboration.

​Watch the future of coding! 👇

How can #TheEngineeringCoach make your job easier? 🤔

I'm expanding the channel to master the practices that deliver high-quality code at pace. What topics (beyond TDD) would really help you right now?

Stop setting up Early-Career Engineers to fail by scattering them!

The Apprentice Team. Keep the cohort together with a dedicated coach. They will master TDD & Ensemble Programming over 2 years, becoming high-functioning delivery units.

Video editing means having to listen to myself talk for a long time.

I already hate the sound of my own voice

After a long break, I'm relaunching my YouTube channel as The Engineering Coach

Last week I started creating content that looks at TDD with AI.

We'll be exploring practices that enable engineering teams to deliver high-quality applications at pace.

I love buying second-hand books. There is quite often a little surprise from the previous owner. A note or something they used as a bookmark.

This time, a PostIt from the person giving the book to someone else

Tonight at #cubs we held a Pack Forum to gather ideas for events and camps

One six decided they wanted to eat steak and chip followed by dragon fruit on camp.

What happened to hotdogs and tinned fruit.
