Totally agree. I also think "TDD" is often used to mean "Unit tests". Saying that you never unit tested your code during a job interview sounds a bit like suicide to me. On the other hand, I think no one will think it's a real problem if you code first and then unit test it.

Yeah, I also think that when most companies mention TDD they mean unit testing. In my current job I have practically zero at all to write tests as the main focus of the superiors is to get the most amount of results in the least amount of time possible...
