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.

Ciao,
