Yeah what I mean is that most novices write their code, run it once and call it a day..

An experienced developer is a lot more paranoid about that and uses asserts, traces, pre-emptive debugging and unit tests to ensure their code works before calling it a day.

I would often consider it a challenge to be able to submit code that testers could not break. It was very hard to do because we had really good testers.
