I vow today that I will never allow some blinkard, narrow-visioned, elitist Test-Driven-Development (TDD), Agile or XP (EXTREEEM PROGRAMMING!!!11one1eleventeen) cock-sucker push me around again. I also vow that I will fight these religious zealots with their pigheaded belief that TDD is the end-all, be-all solution to everything, until my last dying breath.

Seriously, not since... well... never.. have I felt so strongly about a particular technical methodology. I may rant about the cults of elitism surrounding git or vi, but they can't even remotely approach the level of elitism and self-assuredness of correctness in spite of ample contradictory evidence as the TDD crowd. For those practitioners and proselytizers of TDD, you're either with them or you're some sort of mentally retarded misanthrope who writes shitty code and probably eats babies.

What is TDD, and why do I hate it so? Well, let's explore the subject a bit deeper, shall we?
