I'd have to disagree.  The thing you should write first and is most 
worth writing is the tests.  That way you know your patch works - and 
regardless of what implementation is thrown at it can be interchangeably 
used to determine the suitability of it.

No point in writing code for functionality or for bug fixes for which 
there are no tests.  :)

(I often say... if its not tested, it doesn't work!)
