The other problem is there is a megaton of lip service done to TDD.
You=E2=80=99ll even have working tests. They make some framework change th=
at breaks the tests, and they stop running them, or =E2=80=9Ccrunch time=E2=
=
=80=9D comes, and management says =E2=80=9CI don=E2=80=99t care if it take=
s longer next quarter, you need to get the following done for the end of th=
e month=E2=80=9D
Place after place I=E2=80=99ve been in has a small to mid sized collection=
 of tests, that are either not maintained, not run, or not added to, and wh=
en you do start adding, management complains.
I=E2=80=99ve never been to a place that does more than pay lip service
