From what I've seen, "better than average" is a pretty low hurdle to clear. I've seen too much code in production that scares me.

For example, have you ever seen someone statically allocate a million element array to hold ~1-2000 6-digit numbers? Did I mention the program had significant memory usage problems? Then again, after looking at that particular mass of 30-year-old goto-loving, copypasta C, maybe I should have been grateful they never once used malloc.
