Man, I wish I had time to do TDD work, but the pace I need to make my deadlines won't fit.
(I've done TDD with some personal projects and enjoyed it despite working feeling sooooo slooooow, but in my day job I'm maintaining and adding to a large old codebase with no tests, because, man. No time.)
Software developer with a 17+ year career that has been primarily focused on Java and JavaScript web development. Recent years have been spent in the DevOps tooling and release engineering space.
So true. TDD for greenfield projects sounds great. TDD for projects making enhancements on large legacy code bases that have little or no tests is much more difficult!
