My javascript coding habits and environment are now finally reaching a point where I am consistently writing tests where I find it necessary, and oh boy is it nice! Until now, the simplest refactoring would scare the shit out of me.

Thus, I am now doing more TDD than I did before. I just find that it's much easier to write testable code if you write the test first, and I like the satisfaction of turning a red lamp green. I don't do it all the time, certainly not, but I do it quite a bit with parts where my intuition tells me that I am likely to destroy something in the future. TDD is nowhere near dead to me.
