TDD negative experience

I would like to read about negative experience related to developing in the TDD style. Looks like it is very difficult to find this kind of article since Google is filled by positive views. Are there any good articles that reflect the negatives of TDD?

I recently read TDD Is Not An Algorithm Generator! and it reinforced my opinion that TDD doesn't work well when you don't know how to solve the problem. Sometimes you just need to get in and hack around until you get the result you want.

After you know how to solve the problem, you can start fresh with TDD to build the well-tested version you'll eventually commit.
