Oh gosh. I really hope I will never have to work with you or ever use a product you have worked on. This is just terrible software engineering practice. You are doubling the amount of work you have to do and are creating a breeding ground for bugs. Remember this age-old wisdom "measure twice, cut once"? You are doing the exact opposite.

Great news for you, you are the master of your own destiny and never have to (:

The age-old wisdom holds of course for so many cases, but writing code isn't always software engineering. Wouldn't you grant that it would be a mistake to instil the value that all code written must be carefully crafted? There'd be a ton of missed opportunities for creativity if the act of coding was so sacred.
