AI-Assisted Coding Katas — Clean Code, Refactoring & TDD in the Age of AI

Join us at the upcoming, invite-only Sahaj Software DevDay in Hyderabad as we tackle the biggest shift in modern software engineering.

AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, and Codeium are rapidly changing how engineers design and maintain software.

This is a highly interactive, hands-on session focusing on harnessing these tools to amplify good engineering practices. The goal is to move beyond “letting AI code” and learn how expert engineers + AI collaboration can consistently deliver high-quality, extensible code.

This exclusive session is led by our team of experienced practitioners, Rajani K, Sneha Bagri, Vishnu, Abhinav, Vikhyat, Shaheen, and Priyadarshan, who are at the forefront of AI-assisted engineering and clean code principles.

Across four focused hours, you will explore practical applications of AI in core engineering domains:

Clean Code and AI: Strategies for prompting AI to produce clean, readable, and maintainable code, avoiding quick hacks.
AI-Assisted Refactoring Kata: A guided, hands-on challenge to iteratively refactor messy legacy code with AI assistance while ensuring behavior preservation.
Test-Driven Development with AI: Utilizing AI to write effective tests, suggest critical edge cases, and reinforce design discipline in a TDD workflow.
Prompt Engineering for Programmers: Mastering coding-oriented prompt patterns to improve code structure, naming, patterns, modularity, readability, and domain design.
By the end of this session, you will understand

how to use AI to write cleaner, more maintainable code
how to refactor legacy code faster and safely
master coding-oriented prompt patterns for debugging, design, and testing.
The goal is to build confidence in using AI as a pair programmer, not an autopilot, and realize why AI magnifies engineering quality rather than replacing engineering depth.
