Yeah those are the famous ones, but what's much more likely is that you're not going to necessarily be working on a project with as wide a footprint as any of those, and you're probably not going to create a bug that's quite as harmful as any of those either, but you're still going to cause memory-management problems for your project if you start out writing C. No one's saying it's impossible to write memory-safe C code, it's just exponentially harder, and when you're not 100% sure of your use case and exact performance needs, you're going to spend a lot more time than you want to making C do only what you want and nothing else.
