I have that goal, too. But it's too large a goal to accomplish it in one
step, therefore I need to do it in several tiny steps. I found it to be good
practice to find intermediate goals for those steps, too. You might want to
try that some time.

Apparently. I don't know how to interprete that smiley in this context,
though.
I have to admit that the way Phlip states things often sounds overly
academic to me, too. I know from personal experience, though, that many of
the things he writes have very pragmatic and practical value. TDD is one of
those things.
