Languages like C are simply very unforgiving to amateurs, and naive arbitrary code generators. Bad workmanship writes bad code in any language. Typically the "easier" the compiler is to use... the more complex the failure mode. =3

Vibe coders usually offer zero workmanship (especially with the web), and are enamored with statistically salient generated arbitrary content. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_10:_Rules_for_Dev...

C is simply unforgiving, amateur or not.

Programming is unforgiving.

What are you actually answering to?

I agree, seems off topic but let’s be kind.

The basis of the cited 10 rules helped form many standards for reliable code:

Best of luck =3

Is the use of "actually" wrong here? What part of my question was not kind?

Reply to bypass a nonsense slop-article that doesn't actually offer any legitimate insights into workmanship standards.

Follow the 10 rules on the single wiki page, and C becomes a lot less challenging to stabilize. Could also look at why C and Assembly is still used where metastability considerations matter. If you spend your days in user-space Applications, than don't worry about it...

A bit of history where these rules came from, and why they matter. =3
