I am a shitty developer, but as a researcher, I have common sense and my BS radar shows a very big signal at C++ direction. When I see problematic C++ I do not start blaming the developers. Part of the problem is the developer and the other part ~ 50% is the language. Since I am a shitty developer and a coward, I would never do C++ buddy jumping again. Last time I pissed my underwear. The others, who didn't back-off, destroyed a 200.000 EU research program fixing bugs, refactoring and seeking the holy Grail of low-level performance instead of doing meaningful research and improving algorithmic complexity.
- jcoffland 10y agoThank you for admitting it and knowing your limitations. The world could be saved a lot of time and money if more people followed your example. However, as with any challenging skill in life, you have to be shitty at C++ before you can hope to be good at it. We need some brave souls to attempt to become good programmers otherwise we won't have any. The biggest problem with software today is all the shitty programmers out there who are employed as if they were good at it. C++ helps weed those programmers out because it's very difficult to be at all productive in that language of you're shitty.
