> The other side is those people who do not find those kind of bugs annoying

Anecdotally, I find these are the same people who work less effectively and efficiently. At my company, I know people who mainly use Notepad++ for editing code when VSCode (or another IDE) is readily available, who use print over debuggers, who don't get frustrated by runtime errors that could be caught in IDEs, and who opt out of using coding assistants. I happen to know as a matter of fact that the person who codes in Notepad++ frequently has trivial errors, and generally these people don't push code out as fast they could.

And they don't care to change the way they work even after seeing the alternatives and knowing they are objectively more efficient.

I am not their managers, so I say to myself "this is none of my business" and move on. I do feel pity for them.
