Idle thought: Indeed, #tdd isn't magic---it doesn't automatically lead to success as a programmer; it does, however, help make learning a core part of everyday practice, which leads more often to more kinds of success. It makes room for improvement in a profession where we're often told to improve on our own damn time.

@jbrains @lisacrispin That reminds me of when I first encountered TDD (via the C2 wiki in the olden days) it was something I _never_ thought would work IRL. It was obvious foolishness :-)

But I did think it might work for me as a pedagogical tool to help me get better at automated testing which I sucked at.

The rest, as they say, is history!
