If you can’t be trusted to handle basic, simple non-creative tasks like managing memory and buffers you are not actually a professional programmer, though you might have convinced an employer otherwise.
- wmf 5y agoOften it's the employer encouraging the programmers to cut corners.
- bottled_poe 5y agoNo, it’s the market.
- jbverschoor 5y agoWith a lot of things I agree with this statement, but not about memory management in C. It's the "fault" of the programmer, but the language makes it very easy to make these faults, so I'd say it's the fault of the language.
- paavohtl 5y agoBy this logic no C or C++ developer in history is a professional programmer. Approximately zero non-trivial programs have been written in C or C++ without memory management problems and/or vulnerabilities.
