Why did you think TDD was garbage? Formalizing a specification is all that test first is. It's just that most devs I know had big egos and believing writing tests was somehow below them. I prefer the "build a little, test a little" approach, personally, but there's nothing inherently wrong with TDD.

My prediction is that in the future, a lot of desperate companies are going to need living, breathing reverse software engineers to aid them because they have lost the ability to understand their own codebases.

Oh, and why is code worth $0? A lot of code is throwaway, but I still got paid to produce it and much of it makes money for the company or saves them money.
