Indeed a good reminder that TDD might not be possible to properly apply at the physical boundaries of the system.

Struggling with TDD? Really feel like you need to write the implementation first? This is a fine approach. One caveat though, you have to be very disciplined in the way you uncomment the code, otherwise you'll quickly loose the benefits.

They keep being fascinating to me. Nice reflections showing how they can impact regular systems as well. I wonder why OCaml seems to be so prevalent in that space though.
