alt Hacker NewsThis is TDD? Tests first, then code? I do first the docs, then the tests, then the code. For years.
What he describes is like that. Just that the plan step is suggesting docs, not writing actual docs.

TDD has always been flawed. Tests can't give you complete coverage, they are always incomplete. Though every time I say this people think I'm against tests. I'm just saying tests can't prove correctness. You'd have to be a lunatic to think they are proofs. Even crazier is having the LLMs write their own tests and think that that's proof. I'm sure it improves things, but proofs are a different beast all together.
Seems things still haven't changed in half a century
