I got to avoid memory management for quite some time
(feddit.org)
Finally I have a valid reason to learn about memory management. It was also hella weird when encountering it.
is this some genX meme that I'm too millennial to understand?
No. I am just learning C and was curious how long it would take to get my first memory leak.
I think the confusion comes from this not exactly being a positive thing. It reads almost like a new driver saying, "Thank God I finally got my first speeding ticket!"
I did my first "that one thing where you park and want to press breaks but press gas instead by accident."
Gen-x likes to call it "right of passage."
Learn some C you whippersnapper! You ain't gonna become a proper programmer unless you understand your basic low level concepts well!
The youth nowadays, always hiding behind abstractions of abstractions that 90% of the time are just C wrappers anyway /j
(written by an early 20s PHP dev LOL. Although I do plan on learning C quite a bit before I move to C++ and ultimately Rust)
You're not a "real" programmer unless you started with FORTRAN :p
:3
Pfft compilers. Just use assembler.
