Do we need to preheat for mug cake?

[Bubbles]

Quick question: does preheating matter for mug cakes? Every recipe seems to shout "preheat!" like some kind of kitchen law, but seriously, who's got time for that when craving hits? Wondering if anyone's skipped this step with no cake-tastrophe? Would love to hear your hacks or horror stories!
