This is just simply not so, or at best, the odds of writing a nontrivial bug free program in any language are negligible. Also, we are talking specifically of C, C++, and Zig here. Three compiled languages among hundreds.

It's a job security thing. Otherwise you deliver the perfect program and then there's no need for you anymore.

Nope, we the humans are just not that good at programming.

I was being facetious. It's kind of understandable if we're still bad at programming, we haven't been doing it for very long, just since WWII really.
