I am not sure about that: if people do not bother to do their work
properly then - if programming is not hobby or education - someone
eventually will suffer, namely users of the software, colleagues that
have to fix it and all other people involved (support personnel for
example).

Exactly.  And this is especially true since things you learn yourself
(probably the hard way) stick much better than things you just looked
up somewhere.

Kind regards
