Learning how to use the compiler and type system (if your language has them) to get as close as possible to "if it compiles, it works", is invaluable. Novice programmers just want the code not to error out, and compile, they just want the compiler errors to go away, while more experienced programmers learn to use the errors as a todo list of sorts, at first, then as a guide for refactorings and fixing bugs. Learn to harness the compiler and type system to help you, and your coding will improve 10x in both velocity and quality.
