What I learnt from dozens of C++ interviews over a few months in London, is that interviewers are obsessed with the tiny, niche corners of C++ that they're familiar with, and normal developers would consult the docs for, and have zero interest in whether you can write clear and concise code that solves a problem. When would I ever write my own std::enable_if.... on a whiteboard?
Years ago, C++ interviews used to be 'what's the difference between pointers and references, stack and the heap', and a bit about v-tables and memory management to prove you know something about C++.
Welcome to 2020, and language that needs to be quietly put out of its misery.
- sgerenser 6y agoIs asking to implement your own enable_if (or equivalent) actually something you got asked more than once? I feel like just asking to describe how/why you use it would immediately screen out the bottom 75% of C++ developers.
