And that is, write code, chuck it away, start again.
Prototype your feature without TDD. Then chuck it away and build it again with TDD.
My guess is by doing so code quality and reduced technical debt pay more than what is lost in time.
Very few companies work like this I imagine: None that I have worked for.
Since keyboard typing is a short part of software development it is probably a great use of time and could catch more bugs and design quirks early on when they cost $200/h instead of $2000/h.
