This is so painfully true it hurts. Especially for personal projects.

i have never written a unit test for a personal project in my life it's not worth the overhead imo

I prefer acceptance tests or end-to-end tests mostly for personal projects. Libraries I write will have unit tests though.

However, for the most part. Personal projects are a lot of prototyping and throwing away. Unit testing and testing in general can get in the way of that.
