I'd like to take the opportunity to mention a tiny very useful app that allows opening a WhatsApp chat directly with any number, without having to register it first as a contact. Great for vacations or similar situations where a quick

That Structure of Arrays performs much better than an Array of Structures is a very well known tidbit since long ago; what I'd love to read more is about how people design code around this fact. For bigger codebases where you might n

To be honest I agree that it makes sense, at least if we put our hats of puritanism on the conceptual and semantical way of seeing it. But having std::move silently fall back to a copy constructor is not a good solution.
