The Thinking Loop: TDD in the Age of Agents with Younes Jaaidi
In this episode, Younes Jaaidi introduces Charted Coding — a Test-Driven workflow where you guide the AI, not the other way around.
Code-and-fix habits (even with AI assistants) lead to messy code and fatigued devs. But what if AI could amplify structured workflows instead of replacing them with chaos?
Join us as we:
🧭 Start from a lightweight design doc
🧜♀️ Use Mermaid to chart the architecture
🪜 Drive the AI agent step-by-step with TDD
♻️ Iterate in a loop until the tests pass
🤖 Integrate with a Charted Coding MCP Server
We’ll build pagination into an Angular app using #Cursor IDE, #Vitest, and #Wallaby, all while modeling a repeatable, collaborative workflow between dev and agent.
It’s not AI vs. TDD.
It’s TDD — with an agent in the loop.
