You're basically saying "I can totally do what you're asking, but I actually think it's super annoying and I'd very much rather do things my own way, so you should hire me because I'm an excellent candidate." Do you expect this to be a good sell?

I am not trying to sell in myself as a Cpp programmer at some corp. If that were the case, I would sing praise to smart pointers and Agile processes, like everyone else.

I am not dogmatically against 'modern' Cpp. It should just be used with self control. And many people way overdo it.
