I don't know anyone who can write proper, secure, bug free C code in multithreaded environment. Some people, such as DJB [1] do get pretty close, though.

Much less those who can do same with C++.

But when you have larger teams, it gets even harder. People just think so differently and misunderstand intentions without realizing.

I did think I could do that in my twenties. 15+ years later I have a lot more respect for C.
