I’ll never understand the aversion of C++ developers to useful learning resources and documentation.

It's nice to know, but the fact is that C++ is the wild west and my domain avoids using STD anyway.

A bit of a shame because C++ 14 and onward really closed all those gaps that devs used to rely on boost to get extended use out of, but I guess that's how a culture develops where there is no central package management repo.

And? Were you born knowing C++? Is that a genetic trait?

As you yourself have implied, you have to _start_ somewhere.

There is a very large spectrum of quality for C++ developers.

That's why the yearly salary of a senior C++ dev can vary a lot, usually from 1x to 10x.
