For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Yeah, I get where they're coming from--in typical use cases, C is often used with static allocation (correlated with minimal/embedded devices) while C++ is often used with dynamic allocation (correlated with enterprise/GUI applications).
Of course you can use either for either purpose, but that pattern seems more common. That being said, I'd be concerned with applicants who don't understand that.
