Indeed. If you contrast it against other engineering disciplines, even a closely related one like hardware engineering or FPGA engineering, the mindset is totally different. The amount of checks, reviews and many other practices is astounding.
... which is even more surprising given that many of these practices (in software) are almost-free. Granted, there aren't compile-time guarantees for most of these things, but with ASAN/UBSAN/etc. you'll certainly find the top 90% of your problems pretty fast.
