I've interacted with monkyyy a bunch in the community Discord. 
He's the kind of programmer who would rather write code with 
undefined behavior and get away with it than follow any kind of 
compiler-enforced rules.

Most programmers with this attitude eventually get it beaten out 
of them by painful experience. I wouldn't put too much stock in 
it.
