Crash-Driven Development: A Disciplined Approach to AI Code

This article introduces "Crash-Driven Development" (CDD), a radical design philosophy that encourages AI to fail fast and loudly by abandoning exception handling. By maximizing the resolution of information through stack traces when crashes occur, CDD aims to transform AI from a "chatbot" into a truly cold and competent "operator". This approach promises to enhance the productivity of AI agents by forcing them to confront the essence of bugs without guesswork or consideration.
