Something I didn't realize in like 9 years of theory focused engineering school is just how much of what you need to know is basically only knowable through bug-fixing. Engineering education is 10% concepts/design/theory, and 90% bug fixing metis.

Bugs also thoroughly violate your sense of proportions of value/investment. - The triviality of a bug has little correlation to how long it will take you to discover/fix it. That's entirely a function of experience. - The cost of the bug is often the value of the whole project.

Reflecting on this, I can say the past 10 years or so has felt like a long series of “bug fixing”. Much comes from shedding conditioned attachments. I may also have been talking about gongfu, and my views on this have been evolving.
