It depends on the job. I’ve had jobs where you couldn’t get approval to take a week off and a week off at my current job is no big deal. Generally PTO is more generous as you become harder to replace.

Legacy of the Wizard on NES. It was sort of an RPG precursor with multiple characters and different abilities that you would needed to use to make progress through a dungeon. I was too young for the game and never finished it but I’ve always wondered what happened at the end. Obviously I could look it up but I don’t mind it being a mystery. The box art was cool and the soundtrack still sticks with me today.

Easy peasy - Just use CGI and never call free().

In all seriousness, I use to work on a large web app written in C and it was fine for CRUD, but I would never use it for a greenfield project when there are so many other options.
