Other than 30 years ago you were writing a whole shitload more buffer/integer overflows. Hell, that's why we've written numerous languages since that point to ensure it's a hell of a lot harder to footgun yourself.

If coding hasn't change much in 30 years, it may mean you have not changed much in 30 years.
