> If you are thinking that you are extremely good developer, then finish your projects, with your team, in fraction of time, comparing to other teams, otherwise you are extremely good programmer, but not an extremely good developer.

Actually, I do! My work code does have more comments and tests (for my hobby projects, I do less of that and instead write other code, getting more done faster).

> There is no obvious bugs in C code. Indeed you still haven't pointed out a single bug, so you have not yet invalidated my assertion that I can write (mostly) bugless code :)

I pointed to one bug: error messages are not redirected to stderr in shell scripts. It's small bug, because it will affect development only, but I found it. I need to find just one bug to prove my point, isn't?
It's not a bug, you can't call just any deviation from the ideal a bug :)
If you redirect stdin to /dev/null, to see error messages, you will not see these error messages. If you try to grep them by "error" keyword, you will not see them either. So you will have two options — read everything using your own eyes OR fix bug in the script. So this is the bug, which causes significant time losses for OPS team pretty often (once 2-3 months someone is bitten by that).
