I am both the left guy and right guy. If you can’t program without using a memory safe language, it’s a skill issue. But I also don’t want to switch to rust because I like the challenge of manual memory management. (Also rust’s syntax and semantics looks like it was designed by a monkey attacking a typewriter.)
I write C++ professionally. Saying it’s a skill issue doesn’t solve the problem. If a dev with 15+ years of experience still isn’t writing memory-safe C++ (ie. some of the people I work with), they’re not going to learn now.
And if you’re a project manager and you choose to use C++ because your team says they like the challenge then you should be fired.

Please tell me you just code golf or similar, and aren’t making things for people to actually use and maintain.
No, I don’t do anything professionally. I just enjoy challenging myself.

Of course none of this applies to hobby projects…
Yeah, I’m not a model for good programing. I don’t program professionally, I just like challenging myself in my hobby projects.
I tried to learn assembly for that, but never did after all
