Sorry if I think you&#x27;re overstating your achievements.<p>- Was your code unit-tested?<p>- Did you use the &#x27;strn&#x27; functions? (strncpy, instead of strcpy for example)<p>- Did your code run under Valgrind? (was there valgrind at that time? I&#x27;m not sure)<p>- Was it tested for memory leaks?<p>- Was there input fuzzying tests?<p>I agree that there are ways of writing great C code (like nginx, the linux and BSD kernels, etc)<p>But from a certain point on you&#x27;re just wasting developer time when you would have a better solution in Java&#x2F;Python&#x2F;Ruby, etc with much less developer time and much less chance of bugs and security issues.
