In my experience, the best programmers write the least amount of code they can get away with.

I don’t mean they use the latest fashion library, I mean the amount of code they type is less simply because they understand the problem and know how to write a minimal solution.

This makes their code easy to read and therefore easier to debug.

It’s worth noting that the less you type, the fewer bugs you’ll create.

To be fair, this is often due to the coder having significant experience.
