Why is writing thoughtful code even important to me?

I think the biggest value add of writing thoughtful code is that the speed of iteration drops dramatically when things are thought about before passed off to an agent to implement

When the user has a bug an engineer should be able to point to the source and resolve it in the minimal amount of time possible

Models are good, majority of the issues given enough time the models will get to resolving themselves (emphasizing given enough times)

I also think giving more thought means you understand your own product’s features and quirks better

Having context of how your product works inside out makes it a lot easier to drive change into the direction of the product after user feedback is collected

I will keep writing about different things I learn in journey to write thoughtful code:
