I know you probably exaggerated, but isn't causing so many feedback loops still the sign of a bad programmer?

I wouldn't trust someone to deliver quality software who produces multiple syntax and multiple runtime errors while coding, especially when modern IDE's fix typos on the fly? What about all the runtime errors he didn't test for?

Is that flow really that common?

Sure, I cause errors all the time, but my workflow includes a compile time error maybe once in 2 trys and an obviously fixable runtime error once in maybe 10 times. Sure there are these countless of edgecase errors I don't even know about, but that's not the thing catchable with this workflow and I wonder if someone with that workflow, who misses the obvious, does miss even more edgecases.

Also don't a lot of tech companies require (mostly) correct whiteboard coding exactly because of this for quite some time?
