>You want me to spend 2 hours writing tests for a feature that someone's going to tell me to rip out 15 minutes later? No thanks.

If you are going to rip out the feature 15 minutes later, why even waste the two hours writing it? Also, as someone who typically practices TDD, writing the feature + tests doesn't tend to take any more time than just writing the feature (and I have the cycle time metrics from my current project to prove it).
