C Programmers get away with murder
I have been reading a lot of C source code lately and I have found that C programmers are lucky, in that, they can get away with pretty much whatever they like.
Why? Well firstly, there are few C programmers around to start picking apart other peoples code so the reviewing process usually gets ignored. Secondly, C is fast. It is so quick by design that there is often no need to write good code, because the language on its own is just extremely fast, hence you will see a lot of sloppy code around!
With that said… If you don’t fit into the “trying your luck” coder category, the company I work for is looking for an additional programmer well versed in C with *nix experience, so if thats you, email me
