Just be thankful in English there are spaces. Chinese doesn't have even that!

I should be more clear. I know how to add verbatim formatting. I'd like to know if the OP manually aligned the columns in the table, if they used a program to do so, or something els.

Not if you're a programmer or in what is called a "Mangelberuf" (a job that the country needs and makes lax visa regulations for).

Replace the two double negatives and you get a better title: "You can't make C++ beautiful, but you must try."

Agreed. In my experience, senior engineers are even better at glibly skirting what specific contributions they made at a company were, or what their true technical skillset is. They need to be tested. The fact that a lot of time senior engi
