    I write C++ professionally. Saying it’s a skill issue doesn’t solve the problem. If a dev with 15+ years of experience still isn’t writing memory-safe C++ (ie. some of the people I work with), they’re not going to learn now.

    And if you’re a project manager and you choose to use C++ because your team says they like the challenge then you should be fired.

    Of course none of this applies to hobby projects…

      Yeah, I’m not a model for good programing. I don’t program professionally, I just like challenging myself in my hobby projects.
