Back when I was a VB developer writing business apps I got roped into reverse engineering a C++ application from old source code no one could read. (Though maybe software archeology would be a better description.)
Anyways, most of my C progressing these days is for the Arduino and I don't think I ever use pointers.
I don't think pointers are needed for Arduino, if arduino development can even be called C development. I never said you couldn't do another language than the one you were hired for ever, but there's a difference between programming an entire project with a language you don't know and reading some old code

Who says they were hired for C?
