Tech Talks by Thoughtworks Vietnam

AI coding tools are pushing development speeds to unprecedented levels, the risk of introducing accidental complexity and subtle bugs grows just as fast. This talk explores how we can take the best from TDD and integrate it into the AIFSD workflow. Rather than slowing us down, TDD still provides the core mindset needed to keep AI-generated code accurate, constrained, and perfectly aligned with what we want.

Agenda:
6.15 - 6.30pm: Registration and welcome
6.30 - 7.10pm: The AI guardrail: Why TDD is the ultimate AI enabler
7.10 - 7.15pm: Q&A and networking

This year's sessions explore how engineering teams are designing, building and scaling meaningful solutions with AI. Highlights include:

• Harness engineering: Building the control system for AI coding agents
  Learn how harness engineering builds the control system needed to turn AI coding agents into reliable software contributors.
• Agents that don't lose the plot: Designing for long-horizon success
  Discover how to prevent long-horizon AI agent failures using guardrails, sub-agents, and judge patterns to keep complex tasks on track.
• First Responder: Agentic incident triage
  See how agentic AI can accelerate incident response in production.
• From delivery to outcomes: How AI is transforming delivery
  Learn how embedding AI across the development lifecycle shifts the focus from team size and effort to high-value business outcomes.
