🚀 I’ve been a software developer for over 15 years.
Over the past year, I’ve been actively experimenting with AI-assisted coding — and the results are astonishing.
In this blog post, I summarize a workflow I refined over many weekends. It combines AI with TDD, prompt-driven planning, and best-practice constraints to create a highly productive loop.
⚡️ With the right setup, AI coding isn’t just 10× faster — it can sometimes feel like 1000× faster.
This is just a starting point. The world has already changed. The future is already here.
Let’s collaborate, improve this further, and shape how we build software together.

Love the blend of TDD structure and prompt-driven planning here. What's been the single most effective tweak in your workflow?
Thanks! 🙏 Honestly, the most effective tweak has been having the AI generate a TODO plan from the prompt — but requiring my manual approval before coding starts.
It adds just enough friction to force clear thinking, like lightweight design. And once that’s locked, the rest flows quickly — especially when paired with TDD and automated test watching.
Would love to hear what’s worked best for you too!
