Hacktical C: practical hacker's guide to the C programming language

"These days; many programmers will recommend choosing a stricter language, regardless of the problem being solved. Most of those programmers wouldn't trust themselves with the kind of freedom C offers, many haven't even bothered to learn the language properly."

Same thing people said about other people not compiling by hand lol.

The people I've met who have made similar remarks about C have authored some of the most heinous pointer tomfoolery I've ever seen in my life. It's a remark indicative of a hubris that has remained unchecked or worse, in denial.
