I do not consider neither TDD or tests being about finding or solving bugs. They are about regression and refactoring safety. They are my guardrails for when I must change or add things, or need to discover how something works. The rest of your comment I found to be a really good point in terms if feedback justification. The IDE checking your code before compile or runtime is faster than both. Good point.

Tests for me also help me write better code. When writing tests, I'm forced to switch from "how do I implement the behavior I want" to "how can this fail to do the right thing". Looking at the code from _both_ of those mindsets helps me end up with better code.
