The toolchain is completely unhelpful though. I can't make sense of half the compiler diagnostics that get spewed on my screen. If it wasn't for ChatGPT being able to reason about the compiler diagnostics, I'd be screwed.

Chatgpt didn't exist a year ago, what did you do then!

I guess I'm lucky I've only been doing a spate of C++ for about 18 months. In the early stages before ChatGPT it was a bit tough but I was also working with admittedly simpler code (less templated code). I have a decent grasp of C including virtually every compiler/linker error that a C compiler would spit out, so I could manage a lot of the superset style errors, but as more C++ work came in, the more inscrutable the diagnostics.
