TDD Progress

I spent one hour last night doing some more TDD. It didn't feel productive and it wasn't exactly comfortable. But, I managed to cross off 3 more tasks, which was a bit of a surprise. Even though it didn't feel productive, it really was, because I have judged productivity in the past based solely on implementation. I've designed, implemented and refined 3 tasks, not just implemented.

I've got 3 task left, but a couple are big vague tasks that I've been shying away from, so I expect the list to grow out again after the next session (whenever that might be).

The uncomfortableness is because of the (bad?) habits I've developed over the numerous years developing software. This may be uncomfortable, but I'd have to say that I'm hooked! Now if only my current job actually required me to do some actually coding...

BTW, I'm starting to get the feel for IntelliJ. It's hard to put into words, but it's starting to grow on me. I fear that by the 29th I'll be in a position where I'll find living without it may be hard to do.
