TDD is truly cult like in it's extreme. Usually it's managers and slightly weaker technical folk with a scrum certification that spew the absolutist TDD path.

TDD is truly cult like in it's extreme. Usually it's managers and slightly weaker technical folk with a scrum certification that spew the absolutist TDD path. I'm a contract java developer and I know how to 'play the game'. The hypocrisy in the amount of fizbuz clones I've written in a TDD fashion on interviews, to then see the production code has no little to no unit tests. I once got negative feedback on an interview because I wasn't TDD enough after expressing the opinion that TDD works great for most use cases but there are limits, e.g. positioning of a front end element isn't always best done TDD. The guy interviewing was non technical and of course any dissent to TDD meant I was a bad fit. Anyways - end rant. Like I said I just learnt to play the game.
