  It's a reference to [1] and a mindset arguably most common in the gamedev world that emphasizes simplicity, pragmatism and performance (including compile time performance) over many aspects of "modern C++". I've found it useful and productive, YMMV. [1] https://gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b https://gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b
