> I find that writing _something_ can help me to get a feel for a problem. Start, then sitting back and thinking about it, helps me to move towards a better solution faster.

That summarizes the struggle that I have with TDD. I guess you could argue that I’m doing TDD wrong, but most of the time I feel like I don’t know what I’m going to be writing until I write it.

Basically most of my coding I feel like I’m prototyping until I iterate a few times and arrive at a solution I’m happy with and understand where the boundaries between various functions need to be. Until then, how am I supposed to pre-empt my solution with tests?
