I'm pretty sure you could buy one of those with a straight six, I bet they're even more of a dog!

I don't speak C, but isn't this an extreme simplification of the issue? I thought memory could be abused in an almost infinite number of subtle ways outside of allocating it wrong. For example, improperly sanitized string inputs. I feel like if it were this easy, it would have been done decades ago.
Nothing wrong with being an EMT who does all those things as hobbies, unless the capitalist pigs to whom you sell your hours demand more than their fair share...
I've had many other jobs and few experiences in them have been as humbling as programming. My favorite is trying everything to fix an issue then realizing the problem is that you're pointing at the wrong database or running the wrong branch.
The problem with modern UI design in a nutshell...
I have basically the same story, except it was one of my actual friends on Steam asking me to rate their CS:GO team. I fell for it since I was trying to be nice, and luckily changed my password before they could turn around and use my account for the same thing.
I often interact with people who don't like something but haven't used it before, so I'm definitely going to steal your term "informed dislike" to distinguish between those cases and ones that are legit gripes.
I unironically use this one all the time, because it captures both sentimental and practical value for me. I just compare the thing itself with the joy of having that much more clean empty space.
Just an anecdote, but I've definitely eaten those bad boys after several months. I've never been led astray by just checking for mold and giving it a sniff.
Yeah! I think I still have the exact same tastes as when I was a kid. I always wanted a dirt bike and now I have one, and I always wanted a fast computer with a good sound system, which I now keep relatively up to date. Maybe my kid self would be disappointed that I don't have a fast car though!
Depending on the software, you still get to think about garbage collection!
