Chris,

I'm curious about how test-driven development helped with situations
like that. Is it because you simply don't use the debugger as much, or
because it helps avoid those race conditions somehow?

When I apply test-driven development it's at a very small scale
(function or class), so none of the tests actually deal with multiple
threads, inter-process communication, etc (the functional tests do
though). So that's one situation where I haven't found TDD to help
much with and I was very curious about your comment.
