Testing, is it the egg or the chicken?

Introduction

As I had mentioned I am a beginner, with zero experience. Starting my journey with Golang I got some advice that I should try learning TDD from the jump, and since it came from someone I look up to I gave it a try. I was confused from the jump; as someone who knows absolutely nothing I was thrown deep into the waters seeing things that I didn’t know the meaning of, how they worked, or why they worked the way they did.

After a while of learning how to write Go by starting with the tests for my programs, the pieces are starting to come together now—not all of them, but just enough for me to see some progress from where I started to where I am now. It’s a bit exciting; I can’t wait to learn more and piece more together. It is always fun to find out why a certain thing works the way it does, especially after having used it for some time without knowing. It gives you that “aha!” moment when it all comes together and makes a lot more sense now.
