Did you see Ron's reply about design on the TDD newsgroup?

"... I design up front on every project. From the moment people start
describing to me what they want, I start thinking about how I might do it.
And there's all this time you have to wait while Visual Studio starts up,
and while you're doing the various hackery to get a project set up in the
IDE. Got to think about something -- I mostly think about design.

And of course, I don't /stop/ thinking about it, ever."

I loved the bit about Visual Studio ... and the reply he got!
