My first attempt into c from a book ended up with rewriting the basic hello world example as I could not understand what the problem was. I first learned basic.

A year ago I attended a meetup about readable code. This young person was explaining why many code conventions don't help and he was right. Afterwards I asked him how old he was, he said 20 and then in the first time in my life (at 41) I used the "in my times" card and felt so old. In did this to explain to him that there is a reason for many of things here was complaining about.
