I'm not sure I follow this complex remark. I find that TDD, when I use
it, produces better code than I used to produce when I coded and then
tested my code. So TDD in fact replaces developer testing, for me,
with something better.

You seem to be suggesting that TDD is not better than developer
testing. On what are you basing that statement?
