Getting a bit tired of these constant updates to the language. I still haven't properly absorbed C++11!

  I still haven't properly absorbed C++11 In that case, skip to c++14 immediately and try your best to use as much from it as possible as that will erradicate a bunch of unpleasancies you've become accustomed to. Really it's almost like a new language (and yes that comes with it's pros and cons) compared to pre-c++11. Once I realized that I've tried keeping the mindset 'first check if c++14 added something for dealing with this, before writing any code' for nearly everything I write (in practice: search, land on cppreference.com and/or stackoverflow.com, read). In the beginning that costs time but I'm pretty confident I gained that back already because the knowledge it gives you enables to write better code, faster.

  The updates are definitely improving the language, so no need to be tired of them. Many things have become easier, or in some case much, much easier, to do since ++11. And some things that were previously nearly impossible are now intuitive and fluent.

  Write yourself a side project using as many features as you can. Or write a cheatsheet (multiple pages) for C++11 onward, taking care to detail example cases of each new item or construct or keyword. You'll know no end of idiosyncrasies in no time. Remember, that was ~6 years ago and that's a long time. If we're still writing C++2003 and haven't fully looked into C++11 and beyond or learned swathes of it (like many many many of my colleagues and C++ devs I meet, some of whom call it C++0x), that means they're working to a spec 14 years old (C++2003). 14 years old is a teenager.
