Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.

Skill issue
I think that’s the point. You can’t trust the average developer to do things safely. And remember, half of all programmers are even worse than average.
Maybe even more!
Wouldn’t that be the median programmer instead of average?
The word “average“ can mean many things, for example, mean, median, mode, or even things like “within 1 standard deviation from the mean”.
I was using it strictly as the mean which divides the population exactly in half.
The median is the one that splits a data set in half and picks the middle.
You’re right of course, that was a stupid mistake on my part.
Yea! I’m one of them!
Which half am I in?
If you have to ask
You know
Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…
99% of devs believe they are in the top 1%
Half of all programmers constitute the so called “average” group
Literally.
Or rather a Dunning Kruger issue: seniors having spent a significant time architecturing and debugging complex applications tend to be big proponents for things like rust.
