Then I would keep the code simple and not introduced a legacy one in above examples.
That might confuse those who want to start with phpspec :-/

I can totally agree with you. But the time is nearly over, so I decided to move on. This exercise is also for me as a writer – do it in one hour.

Nice article Piotr. We do code katas in our company. I have to agree with you – it requires a lot of discipline to do it everyday.

I found one issue in your post. The way we do TDD is: make it red, make it green, refactor.

So in your Price example, after the first failed test, I would create the easiest solution to make it pass. Then I would create a new example such as `it_throws_when_price_is_not_numeric()` and after failure, implement your `throw new LogicException(‘Price should be numeric’);`
That way I make a very small steps to achieve the final result.

One more thing: when you finish code kata, you should erase your work
