Also, I like how this problem had a really simple solution all along
Yeah, totally, it's all those faulty programmers fault. They should've written good programmes instead of the bad ones, but they just refuse to listen
Right, those devs with 20+ years C experience don't know shit about the language and are just lazy. They don't want to catch up with the times and write safe C. It's me, the dude with 5 years of university experience who will set it straight. Look at my hello world program, not a single line of vulnerable code.

This is not completely wrong, though
Yeah, for sure. Human error is involved in C and inertia too. New coding practices and libraries aren't used, tests aren't written, code quality sucks (variable names in C are notoriously cryptic), there's little documentation, many things are rewritten (seems like everybody has rewritten memory allocation at least once), one's casual
void *is another's absolute nono, and so on.C just makes it really easy to make mistakes.

It has nothing to do with knowing the language and everything to do with what's outside of the language. C hasn't resembled CPUs for decades and can't be reasonably retrofitted for safety.
Well yeah, 100% of programming errors are programmers fault.
