I was pointing out that I've been programming in different languages
(many more actually) and observed bad developers writing bad code in
all of them. So this quality "bad developer" is actually
language-agnostic :-).
You can write bad code in any language. However, some languages, and
especially some *mental* baggages that go with them are bad.
There is an important additional point: a language like C _holds_ you to a
certain degree of diligence.
In my day-job I have to code in other languages, which make it "easy" to
code. As a result, the code I have to work with is sloppy, ugly and
buggy. By applying the same principles I am _forced_ to use in C, with
Git, I produce better code.
