Key Tips for Vibe Coding

Vibe Coding with Structure: Test, Plan, and Iterate

1. Planning First: Building with Clarity Before Code
   • Planning offers a structured way to maintain control and ensure code quality
   • the planning process itself helps clarify one’s thinking—turning vague ideas into concrete steps through deliberate dialogue and reflection
2. TDD(Test-Driven Development): Let your tests define the coding.
   • Before writing any implementation, describe the expected behavior in tests (Could done by AI).
3. Do Small Interations: Start Small, Iterate Fast
   • After testing, begin with a minimal but well-organized structure—just enough to hold the shape of your ideas.
   • Build incrementally from there, ensuring each step is stable before moving forward.
4. Let tests and iterations evolve together.
   • Use tests to drive each iteration—start with a failing test, make it pass, then refactor.
   • After each iteration, revisit and update your tests to reflect new behaviors or constraints. This keeps development aligned and adaptive.
