Thanks for your article. You put in a lot of efforts!

I personally like TDD, I think it's a very useful tool. And yes, it does require a lot of mental strength, but I think only because we don't accept to follow it all the time.

I mean there are certain things you simply don't do. You don't go and hit people who you don't agree with. You don't throw waste on the streets (some do...). And you don't have to make serious efforts to do so, because you learnt that's the way of doing things.

Could that be the case for TDD too?

Do you mean, TDD would be a less effort if we accepted it as a good way of doing things and everybody learned it from early on?

If so, I think yes. I do believe if TDD was the norm, we might be a lot better off. I believe it intuitively but can't prove it :)
