As with all tools the goal is to be able to use the tool without fear.

Remember the first weeks of coding C? It took me 4 years to not get cold sweat just thinking about using it when the compiler didn't inform you about a typo and you have to rollback the code all the time to fix problems and learn assembly (in X86, ARM and now Risc-V).

And that was without deadlines or any delivery pressure.

Today I realize C is for mad people, but I learned to respect the thing while no longer being afraid to use it in a real scenario.
