I am assuming you're talking about this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGLoKbBn-VI

The title is the only good thing about this talk, his whole ideology about building a WRAPPER around everything and maintaining hundreds of these wrappers is going to make you NEVER finish a single project. Also it just feels like this entire talk is an advert for C89, I do enjoy playing with the language sometimes especially when I want to scratch my software architecture itch (I use it kind of like pseudocode to develop a data model for my application), but it's simply not a silver bullet.

I've been watching his screencasts on and off for a couple of years and am always slightly aghast at how he can be really spot on about some very specific things and be wildly off the mark about most of the things regarding software design/architecture.

Anyway, people should finish projects, that's the most important part, my 50 weekend projects and 12 registered domains have been screaming this at me for years.
