there are two types self-proclaimed C++ wizards: - that who accepts that the language has infinite complexity and it takes a lifetime to master it, which makes it ill-suited for most real-world tasks, because there are domain-specific tools which have the same performance and are easier to use - that who accepts the language has infinite complexity and thus it can serve any purpose, so there's no point in working with anything else, just keep improving the C++ subskills relevant to the task at hand some folks of the second kind have a hard time with empathising that mastering C++ is not in fact the only way to build better software.
