I am in no way at all better than that guy. Not even sort of. I appreciate his talk.
However, if I were to make a presentation based on my superior C practices, it would have to be implementation and example heavy.
All of his rules sound great, except for when you have to break them or you don’t know how to do the things he’s talking about in your code, because you need to get something done today.
It reads a little like “I’ve learned a lot of lessons over my career, you should learn my lessons. You’re welcome.”
The talk was obviously extremely time-limited, as demonstrated when they basically skipped the last handful of slides and then it abruptly ended. I think for the time allocated, it was just right, and they did include a couple of examples where it made sense.
