> Programmers want to implement new features. Writing error handling is just an annoyance that slows them down.

For me, personally, this is backwards. As a programmer, I want to write error handling (especially for infrastructure), because it means I'll be able to work more quickly later. I won't have to debug through all these abstraction layers. It's the manager who always says "It (the demo = happy path) looks good, so it's time to move on to the next feature".
