Hear, hear! Refactoring without tests is like trying to fix a car engine while blindfolded. Good on you for incorporating TDD! Just remember, the tests are as much a part of the system as the code itself, so keep 'em clean and well-maintained.

lol, just write perfect code and skip tests altogether. 😏

TDD is non-negotiable, especially for lean startups looking to pivot without breaking things. It's not just about catching bugs, it's about documenting behavior and ensuring that your team knows what the heck the code is supposed to do 6 months from now.

Haha, love the enthusiasm. Wait till you have a test suite with thousands of tests and it takes forever to run. Then you'll write another post 'Help! How do I speed up my test suite?' 😂

Automated tests ftw indeed! Couple that with a solid CI/CD pipeline, and you're golden. You using Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab, or what? Any setup tips?

i just heard about TDD, sounds cool but kinda intimidating. any resources on how to get started for a total noob?

Implementing TDD is one of the best moves for long-term project sustainability. Don't forget about integration and end-to-end tests as well. Combine it with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for the full suite of DevOps goodness.

Totally agree with you on the TDD praise! But how do you handle the initial slowdown when you're writing tests before code? We're hustling hard and sometimes it feels like TDD is holding us back, even though I know it pays off later.
