IMHO, C is the lowest level a procedural programming language can get.

*just* a 486. :-(

Yet, I've never seen those language creators blame anyone else. I don't recall Bjarne Stroustrup lashing out at people migrating from C++ to Java, Rust, or anything else.

Maybe humility is just a generational thing.

Strange. I was expecting the opposite move as LLMs know the C pitfalls and traps well enough to write corrected code.

This is impressive. I honestly don't know what to think about programming careers, need to reflect on my role in this area. The only thing that comes to mind the that quote from Cypher (Matrix):

"Buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye-bye."
