In my experience (30+ years) writing good code (and good automatic tests) makes me way more productive. Both when initially writing the code and later when maintaining it. Good code dramatically reduce bugs and makes the remaining bugs more visible. I spend almost zero time fixing bugs. Because there aren't many. Not a brag. Just the truth.
