Want a bug free code - do bug free code. Spend time carefully evaluating every line and interaction
Want third-party code and safety - examine that code in the same way
Whatever you do, assume there is a bug in any software you use, so plan and organize accordingly
No amount of magic pills can substitute the above. So yeah, it is a skill issue. Also an issue of kids wining that there are bugs and they don't feel safe, so they want to cling to magic pills instead of dealing with the reality

It's not a "magic pill", it's another tool. We're not saying that it will magically fix everything, it will just make certain types of errors less probable.

If you want bug-free code, will you (A) use a tool that makes it easier, or (B) use the same tool as before?

"Skill issue" is not an answer.

Wrong reasoning, friend:

Maybe C++ has rotted their brain to the point they can’t “get” the borrow checker.

Yeah, sure. Borrow checker fixes all. This is exactly the idiot attitude I am addressing.

And if I want a bug-free code, I will use same tool as ever: my brain

I am not the person who said "C++ has rotted their brain". I have not expressed a similar sentiment. I have never said that "borrow checker fixes all", in fact I said that it will not magically fix everything.

And if I want a bug-free code, I will use same tool as ever: my brain

Is your brain infallible?

The strategy is not to 100% eliminate every bug in existence or theory, bugs are inevitable. The strategy is Swiss cheese security.

Something is better than nothing. Therefore (brain + something) > (brain + nothing). As long as "something" works to prevent bugs, to any extent, it will result in fewer bugs.

Right. So what do you want with me?

Is your brain infallible?

No, but human brain is the only thing that can define bug

As long as “something” works to prevent bugs, to any extent, it will result in fewer bugs.

Any programming language does
