> The other side is those people who do not find those kind of bugs annoying

Anecdotally, I find these are the same people who work less effectively and efficiently. At my company, I know people who mainly use Notepad++ for editing code when VSCode (or another IDE) is readily available, who use print over debuggers, who don't get frustrated by runtime errors that could be caught in IDEs, and who opt out of using coding assistants. I happen to know as a matter of fact that the person who codes in Notepad++ frequently has trivial errors, and generally these people don't push code out as fast they could.

And they don't care to change the way they work even after seeing the alternatives and knowing they are objectively more efficient.

I am not their managers, so I say to myself "this is none of my business" and move on. I do feel pity for them.

Well, using print over debuggers is fairly common in Rust and other languages with strong type systems because most bugs are, due to the extreme lengths the compiler goes to to able to detect them even before running the program, just lacks of information of the value of an expression at a single point in the program flow, which is where dbg! shines. I agree with all the other points though.

Anecdotally, I was just writing a generic BPE implementation, and spend a few hours tracking down a bug. I used debug statements to look at the values of expressions, and noticed that something was off. Only later did I figure out that I modified a value, but used the old copy — a simple logic error that #[must_use] could have prevented. cargo clippy -W pedantic is annoying, but this taught be I better listen to what it has to say.

>these people don't push code out as fast they could.

Well, one of my coworkers pushes code quite fast, and also he is the one who get rejected more often because he keep adding .tmp, .pyc and even .env files to his commits. I guess "git add asterisk" is faster, and thus more efficient, than adding files slowly or taking time to edit gitignore.

Not so long ago I read a history here in HN about a guy that first coded in his head, then wrote everything in paper, and finally coded in a computer. It compiled without errors. Slow pusher? Inefficient?
