I have a problem with this way of thinking. Yes, you can actually focus on not writing any bugs, but should you? We have limited attention and mental resources. If you're fixing your car, should you focus on not getting any oil on yourself? Yes, you take precautions but that should not be your main focus.

In pro kitchens, the chefs DO spend time and effort NOT getting spills on themselves, on cleanjng their surfaces often, on tidying up as they go. This keeps the kitchen running smoothly and the food safer and more presentable. The process allows their creativity with flavour to come to the fore.

Your analogy has flaws. If you get oil on yourself, you didn't break anything in the car. If you fix your car but use a wrong part or install it improperly, that's a bug and that's on you for being careless.
