I generally agree, though it depends on the nature of the application.
A couple years ago, I was working on a personal project where I'd built a respiratory gas analyzer and needed to write some software that could interface with it over Bluetooth and display the data in real time. Unit testing for various functions that needed to accurately perform scientific calculations was very beneficial, but in retrospect, writing tests for other aspects of the interface was pretty much a waste of time. I ended up getting rid of the tests entirely once I had confidence my functions wouldn't be changing by that point. It turns out that when you're a solo developer, manually testing your application can be perfectly adequate.
