This is a bad attitude to have as a developer!

I worked for 4 years in serious software testing before writing any code.
(testing things like backup software that fortune 100 companies used to back up / restore their databases / file systems / operating systems...)

This served me very well in my career as a developer. I saw the large amount of wasted time caused by developers releasing code they didn't even really test.

Strive for perfection from the start, as much as reasonably possible and then you will be in a better position to fix the myriad of bugs that will arrive anyway.

IMHO!
