First dev job, boss discouraging me from using best practices to save time

I’m worried about where I’m at right now. I got a job as a junior dev and I’m super excited however my boss gets annoyed with me when I take a little bit longer on a project for implementing things like error handling and sanitizing inputs, etc…

I’m worried that it may stunt my progress. I know I’m new but my philosophy is to build something right and right the first time and so I don’t have to go back and fix a buggy app for six hours when the problems couldve been avoided with an extra 2 or so hours of development. Idk I just feel strange because I’m so happy to be working in development but I’m having a lot of trouble with the whole “put it out as soon as it meets the e minimum threshold mindset”. Am I off base, I mean I still am a junior developer so maybe I’m just expecting too much?
