I'm still amazed that there are companies that actually test diligently (I work at one now -- I sometimes complain about our tests, but in general they are pretty darn good). Literally only 20 years ago there were a lot of places you'd be laughed out of if you suggested writing automated tests for all of your code (or even any of your code ;-) ). The first time I did TDD seriously, I thought, "I'd better hang on to this job. I'll never get another one like it". But, it seems that there are groups that are doing it, and even people who think you aren't professional unless you are doing it. It's down right amazing!
