I’d go further: it’s not enough to be able to prove that your code works. It’s required that you also understand why it works.

Otherwise you’ll end up in situations where it passes all test cases yet fails for something unexpected in the real world, and you don’t know why, because you don’t even know what’s going on under the hood.
