  • I’ve seen this sentiment in a few places recently, and as a software engineer with 20 years of experience I can say with 100% certainty that this is a terrible (and dangerous) trend when it comes to programming.

    Undergrads should absolutely be learning how memory works, how to allocate it, when to free it, and what issues you can get into when you don’t do it properly. Sheltering them from such things will lead to a more ignorant generation of developers, which will lead to a lot of headaches down the road, for everyone.
