If you actually want to write software without bugs:

Assume that your code will have bugs no matter how good you are. Correct for that by making careful architecture decisions and extensively test the product yourself.

There’s no silver bullet. If you put in enough time and make some good decisions, you can earn a reputation for writing relatively few bugs.

It’s rather discouraging to see how discussions of Quality Development are treated, hereabouts.

Quality seems to be heresy.
