Is it that hard for you people to use pointers?

Rarely
Well, you shouldn't, you douche. Either write memory-safe code by hand always, or use tools which ensure it for you.

Now go scrub another toilet, you mental midget.

I do not test my code, I prove that it is correct.

Yeah, because I don't go around calling other people sissies for not being as sloppy and macho as me.

They pay your time for that? If most of us tried that, we would be forcibly terminated for taking too long.

Banks and critical infrastructure always use eschew mmm programming environments. There typically isn't a penalty for a few wasted microseconds if it means people won't lose a thousand dollars because you derefed a null pointer.

Banks don't give a shit about your money unless you have millions of dollars, and if you have millions, you shouldn't care about a thousand.

Name one country where it's not like that.
I'll seriously consider moving there if it checks out.

If you have billions, cumulative rounding error can easily add up to a few million.

Also, in any non-shit country, failure to comply with basic regulations for things like double entry bookkeeping should result in revocation of the certifications that institutions rely upon to conduct business.
