0 bugs is actually impossible. A cosmic ray can flip a bit and change the behavior of your software. We live in a fundamentally unreliable universe.
We aren't taught how to write reliable software because very few people know how to write reliable software. It doesn't help that academia has a hard crush on OOP, which is a bag of accidental complexity - and complexity is a breeding ground for unreliability.
