You should use TDD from the start. It is a good habit to get into, and
it helps thinking about what you want to do, too.

I used to work without tests, and quickly learned my lesson. Now, if I
change something in my code base, errors get caught before I embarrass
myself in public. :P

I think that a debugger, for a languages like Ruby, is not really
useful. YMMV, though.
