I tried TDD in a personal project recently and it got annoying pretty fast. It was also a project where I tried a new Framework so writing test when one doesn't know how things behave exactly results in adjusting the tests afterwards anyway.
Thinkimg how I want to designe my API upfront while discovering the details as I go served me well in the past (still in context of personal projects).
It also doesn't help when my tests have more bugs than the tested code...
