Software engineers and developers who know C/C++ are simply better than programmers who don't know C and it cannot be just a plain coincident.

Did you quote yourself, with a statement which is just not correct and has a typo?

Also, C and C++ are pretty damn different so it's quite weird to lump them together like that....

Yes, I quote myself when I say C++ programmer is better than Java programmers in most cases. To be honest, I am not gifted, I am an average programmer but I have worked with some really great developers and most of them were from the C/C++ background. Regarding typo, I put all blame to Grammarly - my writing assistant :-)

I'm sure there are great programmers who know C/C++ as well as horrible programmers who know C/C++. I don't think knowing a certain language makes you a better programmer.

That is true but C++ people are like hardened on the battlefield, but again, this is my personal opinion which is based on my own experience, working with some of the great people who came from C/C++ background.
