I'd have to say that two bad programmers are not any better then one bad programmer even with TDD.

But TDD benefits even the best programmers when they are dealing with a huge, ugly, old code base.

When on the other hand you're user testing every day or multiple times a day, like you might with a web startup, then TDD may only slow you down.

These days I'm at a point where I can usually push 4 or 5 new releases into production every day. It's pretty awesome :-)
