I can't even code like that except maybe for simple tasks in a mature project.

I'm more a "Make It Work, Make It Beautiful, Make It Fast" person and don't see it working by writing unit test first.

I think the value of TDD's red–green–refactor cycle is in making sure that after you "Make It Beautiful" it still works, and again after you "Make It Fast" it still works. Otherwise, if you don't automate the test first, you end up testing manually three times.

exactly, lots of people are missing the point.
