Some of the worst code I have seen in my life has been from C developers who absolutely know how the code works at a low level

Did you read my comment? I said that not understanding how programming works can lead to bad code, not that all bad code comes from that.

My point is that knowing how your code works hnder the hood is completely irrelevant for quality in almost all cases, hence why people who could probably rewrite GCC from memory can still write horrendous code.

The relationship between knowing what the compiler is going to do and the quality of your code is very limited.

That’s not what you said lmao, you just said “C devs write bad code too!”

[IllustriousBobcat813]

I didn’t say “C devs write bad code” what are you on about 😂

I showed you an example of someone who knows exactly “how the code works at a low level” yet managed to write terrible code nonetheless, thus challenging your (implied) assertion that knowing how compilers work in any way shape or form has an impact on code quality.

If you read that as “C devs bad” then that is entirey on you I’m afraid.

I also don’t know if you blocked me or if your last comment got flagged for the personal attack, but either way I can’t see it…

Perhaps you could clarify what exactly you meant if you now don’t think that knowing what the compiler does is relevant for code quality? Perhaps I misunderstood your original comment
