AI Coding Tools VS Test-Driven Design | Clare Sudbery | SAG 2025

Clare Sudbery challenges the hype around LLMs Models and clarifies, why Test-Driven Development is more important, than ever before - because good engineering practices matter. Clare is independent technical coach with 25+ years of experience. She breaks down the fundamentals of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and explains why writing tests first is still one of the most powerful ways to design clean, maintainable code – even when AI is involved.

00:35 AI + Test-Driven Design
04:19 Ethical & ecological implications

💡 Key take aways:
- What TDD really is and why it improves software design
- Why AI-generated code can degrade over time without solid practices
- The concept of LLMs as amplifiers of good (or bad) engineering habits
- The risks of “vibe coding” and blindly trusting generated code
- Ethical concerns around AI: copyright, environmental impact, and misuse
- Why Clare is cautious about chatbots and AI-generated content
- When LLMs can actually be useful (and when they slow you down)
