Sure, but even the best programmers can write buffer overflows and other memory issues. Not that average shops have any interest in actually training people, though.
- citrin_ru 3y agoBest programmers tend to work on the most complex software though. There are small and relatively simple C/C++ programs around which have no know memory issues (but a person with minimal viable knowledge can introduce new bugs even there and that's where training would be useful).
- VikingCoder 3y agoI worked with someone who said it great once. I wish I'd written it down. It was something like, "I'd rather use a threading library written by one great programmer than by ten average programmers."
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoSure and for every small and simple application there’s are hundreds of terrible apps. I actually think memory safety is a pretty poor measure (in my isolated world I rarely see C code). I see plenty of php logic which is far more likely to be publicly exposed and generally of a terrible quality.
