Welcome to UB, at scale, in every language.

Everyone loves to complain about C (and C++) UB; well, now, you have that in every language.

We're at the point now that my manually written (non-trivial) projects C hits fewer undefined behaviour than even trivial projects constructed with an LLM and human "review".

(I even wrote a blog post about it!)

What does UB refer to here?
Undefined Behavior
The arch nemesis of software engineering. The exceptionally exceptional exception. It doesn’t throw, it glides. It festers. It waits until production day. It rears its head from the dead. The demon with 1000 names…
The guy who orders minus 1.5 beers lol
Kind of ironic, using a UT in a comment about undefined behavior.
