If you intend to become an embedded systems software developer, then you either get really good at proving it's not the software or you're doomed to forever be a whipping post for the hardware folks.
Defensive coding and stellar debugging skills will prevent wasting years of your career in the finger pointing game and will make you quite valuable to boot.
