Tip: AI Agents Need Explicit QA Gates — Uncle Bob's TDD Principles Apply More, Not Less
paddo.dev·medium signal
paddo.dev's 'The Idiot Savant Needs Guardrails' argues that AI coding agents make testing infrastructure more critical, not less. Agents produce working code that lacks invariant awareness, so TDD must be built into the agent's workflow as a first-class gate — not added as an afterthought. Concrete recommendation: add a mandatory test-writing step between implementation and merge in any agent-driven pipeline.
