A person I watch frequently gave me this gem.
Please forgive the annoying thumbnail.
I’ve seen this sentiment in a few places recently, and as a software engineer with 20 years of experience I can say with 100% certainty that this is a terrible (and dangerous) trend when it comes to programming.
Undergrads should absolutely be learning how memory works, how to allocate it, when to free it, and what issues you can get into when you don’t do it properly. Sheltering them from such things will lead to a more ignorant generation of developers, which will lead to a lot of headaches down the road, for everyone.
The programming field is going through what math has been going through for ages. Many people don’t want to learn how things work because they can use a calculator or software to do basic maths. But then when it comes to actually understanding what’s going on, there becomes a big loss.

When I clicked the thread I thought this was a joke and am now experiencing a degree of horror.

This is almost certainly not intentional. The AI just can’t differentiate between unsafe as in NSFW and unsafe as in manual memory management.
Agreed. I’ve been seeing the trend myself and it’s a damn shame. Ignorance isn’t a reason to shelter others
