I agree, but even Uncle Bob advocated TDD not as a religion of itself, but as a means to achieve the underlying goal - test your code. In one of his articles he mentioned that there are very few cases where he deems it acceptable to not write unit tests immediately, but one such scenario is where you develop your code interactively using a REPL. Of course it's still better to then create the unit tests for regression testing, refactoring etc. But the point is that the most important thing is simply that the code is tested somehow. Basically what agentultra said above.
