Dude.

Writing correct code is the whole process. If you're defining coding without care for correctness, of course you can write it off as not the hard part.

“The best code is the code you didn’t have to write” - a wise coder

The point of the OP in this case wasn't code that compiles, but code that does what the customer wants. If the customer orders an email client but really wants a chat application, coding a working email client is not "correct". And insisting that the customer ordered the wrong thing won't change the reality of the matter.
