I'm really sorry but these kind of "I mocked a simple program in 45 mins when my TDD practicing counterpart took longer" comments mean nothing. The code is never written once and done. If you were maintaining that code for the next 6 years and there was no rush to ship it, it absolutely doesn't matter how fast it was written in the first place. I would much rather take code that was written better in 6 hours, than bad code written in 45 mins. I'm not saying you wrote bad code, but time to ship, in general, rarely matters in this context.
