I would say (ESPECIALLY for personal projects) that writing bad code that does something is better than writing no code that does nothing. For personal projects I do really minimal testing if any at all. Again especially for "exploratory" projects. There is a spot I think for personal projects where lots of tests make all kinds of sense. But just for playing around. Meh. Trust your abilities and embrace the dark side. :)
