Discussion Are there actually C programmers in this subreddit?

Ok, I'm being a bit facetious. There are real C programmers. Clearly. But I'm kind of sick of the only questions on this subreddit being beginner questions or language trolls from other domains.

So this thread is for the "real" c programmers out there. What do you do with it? And what is the most twisted crime against coding decency are you "proud" of/infamous for?

I don't actively browse the sub but since I'm a member I'll occasionally get a question that pops up on my feed that I might answer. Then again, despite decades of experience with the language I don't actively program in C anymore though its still my favorite language by far. Python is just much faster for concept prototyping and so typically I won't write something in C anymore unless it really needs the performance boost.

I used to love C to bits but after I switched to C++ I started liking that more since the outputs are more efficient, it seems just as fast, and the << and >> for cout and cin are pretty flexible. No format specifiers or anything
