"I guess you don't spend too much time looking at the typical C code written on most average enterprise shops"

The list of qualifiers and disclaimers in that sentence made me dizzier than taking that quiz on dark corners of C.

As non English native, I gladly accept corrections to improve it....

Perhaps "Really? Most C I've seen is actually that bad."

Less is more.

However, I think that your original sentence is fine too. GP is being a bit pedantic.

Fairly new to HN. GP? Best guess is grand-poster?

I'm non-native English speaker/writer too. The qualifiers and disclaimers that I'm objecting to are not grammatically wrong. The point I'm making is that your statement loses all force due to the style.
