Most developers fall into the trap of "vibe coding" with AI - generating code without proper testing frameworks. Here I demonstrate how Test-Driven Development ensures your AI-generated code is actually production-ready. By having AI write tests first, then implementation, you get self-validating code that works across multiple languages and frameworks. This is how senior engineers actually build reliable systems with AI assistance. Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zen-van-riel https://www.skool.com/ai-engineer
