I never blame the tools. If you are programming in a systems
programming language like C, it's assumed that you are awake, just
as you must be if you are programming assembler.

For the work I do, I rarely if ever use the standard C library as
it's been full of holes forever. You can write a bounded string
copy or string length function in a few lines of code, so there's
no excuse :-)...
