I generalized DHH's conclusion re: TDD in my blog post, "XDDs: stay healthily skeptical and don't drink the kool aid":

http://www.pixelmonkey.org/2012/02/12/xdds

"I list one of my skills as “thought-driven development”. This is a little tongue-in-cheek; software engineering over the last few years has developed a lot of “XDDs,” such as test-driven development, behavior-driven development, model-driven development, etc. etc.

“Thought-driven development” doesn’t actually exist, but by it, I simply mean: perhaps we should think about what we’re doing, rather than reaching for a nearby methodology du jour..."



Love that post. And I love the acronym - TDD - Thought Driven Development. Now, I can finally start telling everyone that I strictly do TDD. ;)
