Quite frankly very few people can do TDD well. Hence why most developers hate it. They've never been taught by a master.

The majority of developers have less than 5 years experience, and they're teaching new devs. So the skills that we're developed by people who embraced TDD in the early 2000s have been swamped out by new people.

I think the best way learn if you don't have access to a master is probably videos. See if can find kent beck doing some examples. There's subtle knowledge & flows that hard to teach through just text alone.
