TDD and unit tests aren't exactly the same thing. Also, not doing TDD doesn't mean that there's no automated testing. I prefer to write my code and then do a few end-to-end automated tests for the most important parts of the code to serve as a backup in case some change in the code causes massive failures. But TDD is overall tedious for (usually) little benefit when compared to a few well selected end-to-end tests. And unit testing is even less benefit for even more work, unless you are doing something very very specific.
