It’s a reminder not to take things at face value and to consider that there’s often more happening behind the scenes than we realize.
So, where do we go from here? Can we realistically do anything? Should we abandon C++ altogether, or do we continue building on a flawed foundation, knowing its limitations?
It seems unlikely that there will be any significant changes in C++ leadership. Convincing government bodies or other stakeholders to switch to a better-governed alternative also feels like a distant prospect.
Ultimately, the challenges we face in C++ seem to reflect broader issues in society itself.
It feels a bit more daunting than when I was first learning how to program, since there appears to be numerous more tutorials, but half of them are only there to promote a course and it's hard to distinguish good learning material from bad.
I like the flexibility that remote work gives me, but at the same time I also enjoy going to the office because it forces me to get out of the house, and interact with people at the office.
Admittedly, if I were full remote, I'd probably rent a desk at a co-working space, so I could get that office-like feeling.
Perhaps the community will whip up (most likely not), extensions for stuff like Sentry or CI/CD. Could be a neat thing then.
