Hi, folks. Why do you still care about TDD?
Please skip the platitudes and write from the heart. Why does it still matter to you? Why do you still practise it? How does it still help? Why do you still teach it?

Replies from this account routinely take a few days, which allows me to reply thoughtfully. I reply more quickly to messages that clearly require answers urgently. If you need something from me and are on a deadline, then let me know how soon you need a reply so that I can better help you to get what you need. Thank you for your consideration.
