I always use Claude Code to debug issues, there’s no point in trying to do this yourself when AI can fix it in minutes (easy to verify if you write tests first) o3 with new search can do things in 5 mins that will take me at least 30 mins if I’m very efficient. Say what you want but the time savings is real.

Tests can never verify the correctness of code, they only spot-check for incorrectness.

"hey claude, does this function terminate?"

How do you know what tests to write if you don’t understand the code?

[9rx]

Same way you normally would? Tests are concerned with behaviour. The code that implements the behaviour is immaterial.

How do you do TDD without having code in the first place? How do QA verifies without reading the source?

I’m not sure I understand this statement. You give your program parameters X and expect result Y, but instead get Z. There is your test, embedded in the problem statement.
