> it still seems like "best practices" on C++ are churning around 1.5-2 years, it's been happening for my entire career, and it's still happening I have to disagree with this quite strongly. What "best practices" churn are you seeing? Your reference example of "don't use new & delete" (which I agree with) was a single best practice change that happened ~10 years ago. Similarly https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines is like 5-7 years old now, and afaik hasn't had any significant revisions? The "churn" was really pre-C++11 to post-C++11. It was more like a python 3 moment than churn, other than it's taking a long, long time for code bases to catch up.
