Test driven development is one of the worst ideas nowadays in the LLM age. We have models that can consistently write expert level, usually bug free code for you and rapidly fix even complex bugs in your codebase.

The token cost and tech debt introduced by tests is just not worth it. There's usually no bugs and if there are, you can fix them quickly if and when it's needed.

I disagree

Testing was and is still very important, as LLMs can still miss important points in business logic or other edge cases I would argue that tests became as important as code, if not more.

IF your code has no bugs it's either trivial or you haven't noticed the bugs.

No it's probably the most important idea.
