One of the hills on which I am prepared to die on is that "The C Programming Language" is the best programming language book I've ever read. Every developer should read it and learn C at least once, even if they promptly forgot it all.

You’re not going to die on that hill. There are so many people that share your opinion that you might have trouble finding space, but you’re not going to die on that hill.

Javelins have an easier time finding people if there are a lot of them on a hill.

So someone will.

Of course you're going to die on that hill, it's where we all live. Where else are you going to die?
