Dave Thomas (a.k.a. Prag Dave) talks about how even though he's been unit testing since the 80's there was a period where Engineers practising test driven development would frustrate him! So much so that he stopped software testing altogether for 6 months!

When talking to Dave Farley during this podcast episode, they attempt to answer the question, 'does TDD rule out bad ideas?'.
