For value creation, you need both workers and capital (provided by founders and investors). The value is created by both together, not each independently. The compensation for created value is based on market rate for both work and capital.

Well, the documentation says that null terminator is maintained at the end of the buffer (i.e. mybuffer->cstr[mybuffer->capacity - 1]), not at the end of the string stored in the buffer (i.e. mybuffer->cstr[mybuffer->size]).
