You are right. I did not try to say, that whoever is not doing TDD is doing it wrong. My main point here was, that testing is important.
If you are an experienced developer, you might be perfectly capable of writing high quality testable and clean code and write tests afterwards do that’s fine. However, I learned the hard way that when you’re inexperienced, writing test afterwards and not trying to find the simplest solution, you end up with bad designed, overly complex untestable code that will eventually break. I use TDD as a tool for myself to write good code and that why we practice that in coding dojos every 3 weeks in my team.
