If in doubt act correctly and in due accordance with all applicable law and regulation: all will then be fine.

If you can't follow our rules then you deserve to be persecuted, surveilled and imprisoned at our whim but always know that you are being watched and your past will be used against you.

Luddite time?

In this short example you compile, the compiler complains and then you troubleshoot the errors reported. You don't extrapolate on the variations possible in another dialect.

You don't optimize early, you don't overthink. You can then add platform convention, indentation and other sugar to the base code to fulfill whatever workplace standard or best practice you need to match.

I never really got the feature-phone for anything more than data and voice either. When you add in the downsides for those mobile features: MRC,1k for a decent phone, and the moving targets all the app providers put out it's easy to see through the facade to a bubble market based on peoples low tech IQ and attention deficit: both encouraged in/by other popular media.

The only upside is it's easy to track you with these devices by those who care about you the most: big $$ and big brother.

I get both sides of this. For 17 years I ran linux everywhere. FreeBSD as well but infrequently as a desktop. After two years of mac and seeing the breakage and perversion of the unix foundations apple inflicts I gave up on it (entirely) and work with macs only under protest.

So now? Linux and *bsd for paid work. Windows for the desktop. cygwin and mobaxterm ftw. All old is new again.
