Yep. The philosophy most software seems to be written with is “poke it until it works locally, then ship it!”. Bugs are things you react to when your users complain. Not things you engineer out of your software, or proactively solve.

This works surprisingly well. It certainly makes it easier to get started in software. Well, so long as you don’t mind that most modern software performs terribly compared to what the computer is capable of. And suffers from reliability and security issues.
