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.

Correct code is that which does what is required of it at whatever level of correctness you are examining, as was said. But it's the whole thing.
There is no sensible distinction to be drawn between writing correct code and merely writing code. The former is the only definition of the job. We shouldn't define down competence.
