Yes that's the damn problem with C. You can the best programmer on the entire planet and then suddenly your skills become completely worthless because you have to work on broken code that you didn't write.

Of course people will write broken code in Java, safe Rust, Javascript. Fortunately the consequence of broken code in these languages is restricted to the application with the broken code. Broken C code threatens your entire computer.

As does broken hardware.

Yes, but hardware is easier to replace...
