Write the program, run the program, observe. Or, write the program, write the tests, run the program, observe for breakages. Neither are TDD, the practice of writing tests first before any actual implementation is written, which I agree with the parent is dogma, impractical, and unrealistic.

Jokes (?) aside, the scientific method is a loop, so it probably doesn't matter long at which phase you enter.
