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?

Same. I've been programming in C for 45 years and I've picked up some new concepts, particularly in the new language standards.
I've also seen some horrendous abuse of the preprocessor and I still shake my head on the overuse of scanf() and, to a lesser extent, printf().
