What a great point! This can happen to even us "seasoned" developer types. I remember learning how to write TDD after years of writing code without it. I was paralysed by trying to make all of the right decisions. Should I write a test here? Am I going to have the right coverage? Is my test to broad, not broad enough? Did I write my code correctly. I would always forget that refactoring, especially consistent, incremental refactoring, is actually the best way to go. We learn best by doing, by making mistakes, and by incrementally bettering our skills and our code. A lot of developers would be so much better if we would only remember that.
