This is a good point. I am not Russian but I learned programming in the same way because I started out doing embedded work. Where a build/deploy/test cycle could take hours to an emulator and debugging was very unfriendly. If you did not do rigorous thinking about your program and what you were doing, you could waste huge amounts of time. I no longer do embedded work, but the mentality has stuck. When I commit my work, it tends to have fewer bugs than what my co-workers produce.
