I feel very relaxed when doing TDD with Rails/rspec. If I'm settled enough to be doing TDD in the first place (which is hard for me if I'm not sure where I'm going), it's a really cathartic experience.

That flow feeling when you get into the groove of running tests and adding code is great. For me, I especially feel good when TDD'ing my way through API endpoints on a Rails project.

Same. Rails/Rspec is the only time I love TDD, with javascript I usually do a more behavior driven testing approach because I feel like it's so much easier to end up with false positives/negatives
