Red, Green, Prompt: Redefining the TDD Cycle in the Age of AI by Aya Saleh
Details
We’ve all been there: you ask an AI for a simple function, and it hands back a 200-line "masterpiece" that somehow misses the one edge case you actually cared about. It’s fast, sure, but is it right?
In this session, we’re going to look at why Test-Driven Development (TDD) is the secret sauce for working with AI without losing your mind. We’ll talk about how to treat LLMs like a super-fast (but slightly over-eager) intern—using the Red-Green-Refactor loop to keep the AI on track, catch hallucinations before they hit production, and actually enjoy the process. No more "prompt-and-pray." Let’s build some cool stuff with 100% confidence.

Welcome our monthly Grab a Byte virtual lunch series! We take the time to share something we have learned in a casual setting. We take turns presenting something that is Python-related and of interest to our community. We are especially excited to encourage those who are new to giving presentations.
This year, we are meeting on the second Friday of the month at noon, though we adjust as needed. Looking forward to seeing you!
