I would argue that a moderately talented programmer can write code that does exactly what they think it is supposed to do (whether you call that "bug-free" is a question of semantics) if the have a language and type system (or equivalent) that allows them to express their requirements, and they don't step outside what they can express that way (i.e. they don't write code when they can't express what its semantics should be). Languages/compilers that can do that for multithreaded code are extremely niche.
