Rule one is don't waste people's time. Waiting until the second paragraph to get to the point violates that rule. And that's assuming your reader knows what boost or std are.
- Blackthorn 5y agoVirtually everyone who uses C++ knows what Boost and std are.
- Veuxdo 5y agoPerfect. Put that in your title. Or at least in the first sentence of your description. Not paragraph 2.
- yegle 5y agoI would say most people who are writing C++ professionally should known what folly (and abseil from Google) is.
- downut 5y agoMissing the most important part: avoid them (including boost), when you have a choice. Professionals often don't have that choice. Cue many thousands of comments on HN why working in c++ sucks.
- ravenstine 5y agoUm... what? Why should I have any knowledge of some kitchen sink library at Facebook just because I write C++ elsewhere? (hypothetically speaking)
- _ofdw 5y agoI haven't touched C++ since first year university and even I know what boost and std are.
