Develop an interest in basic electronics and make DIY hobby projects involving electronic circuits. Since it involves physical construction and failures can be costly in terms of time and money, careful checking and rechecking of plans, circuits and any microcontroller code before switching it on becomes an automatic habit. I found these habits carrying over to my pure software projects resulting in less bugs. And if you really want to take this idea to the extreme, learn to build power supplies and other projects involving mains electricity - a mistake there can mean it's the last bug you'll ever write!
