> When asking Claude Code to write tests, I find they are inevitably coupled to implementation details, mockist, brittle, and missing coverage.
Interestingly, I haven't noticed any of that so far, using Claude Code on a new-ish project (couple 10k loc). However, I also went out of my way in my CLAUDE.md to instruct it to write functional code, avoid side effects / push side effects to the shell (functional core, imperative shell), avoid mocks in tests, etc. etc.
