Blank Page Panic! Creating Confidence with TDD
summary
Whiteboard fear becomes a repeatable process: write pseudocode dump then focused specs, drive code with Test-Driven Development and RSpec, follow each failing error to the next change. The example builds a RoutineCreator for the Creature Comforts app, implements calculate_food to return “one” or “two scoops” for dogs and cats by weight, lands four passing specs, and commits working, minimal code while refactoring incrementally.
