It's amazing how many people can't write strlen(). Honest. Then you find out they don't know what 'const' means, have never heard of size_t, and spend 20 lines

It's amazing how many people can't write strlen(). Honest. Then you find out they don't know what 'const' means, have never heard of size_t, and spend 20 lines on something that should be about three. I wouldn't find that out otherwise. Instead, I'd find out after hiring someone, and spend six months to a year getting them run out. That sucks. So: Everyone writes code.
