Excuse to be blunt but I consciously count at least once or more a day that
the discipline of writing tests saves my a$$ --- and that is conscious, who
knows all the other bugs it saves me from. I encourage you to take the time
an discipline to learn this method. My first large project I did without
tests. Tests dont solve everything but they do mitigate a good portion of
the living hell possible without them. I learned this by experience...
hopefully you will be smarter :)
Practical idea - take two small projects, write one how you would normally
and one strictly following tdd. When you are done judge by:
- The results
- How you feel about the project and the beauty of your code
- How confident you are in making changes to the project
