I keep reading about people who are ‘test infected’, meaning that they don’t just ‘get’ TDD but also can’t live without it. They’ve ‘had the makeover’ as it were. The question is, how do I get like that?

Part of the point of being ‘test infected’ is that you’ve used TDD enough and seen the successes enough that you don’t want to code without it. Once you’ve gone through a cycle of writing tests first, then coding and refactoring and seeing your bug counts go down and your code get better as a result, not only does it become second nature like Zxaos said, you have a hard time going back to Code First. This is being test infected.
