crickey··on Good code is like a love letter to the next developer who will maintain it
Complains about the craftmans tools rather then the product. IT is rappidly becoming an unusable mess even though every generation of programing languages and frameworks promises revolutions. Honestly i think programing is doomed as man cannot look past the symbolic. Hooked like a lost poet, only complaining about the words used never seing the beauty.
crickey··on C++23: The Next C++ Standard
But the reason C++ fits in so many industries from embedded system to high level gui libraries is its flexibility we see the end of OOP trend but C++ does bot lock its users into one paradigm or another so it will continue to be industry standard. Even if the industry is moving towards other paradigms of programing.

Adding, javascript really inly has one industry its used in. Think it sais a bit about its versatility

crickey··on C++23: The Next C++ Standard
Making such assumptions about what is correct or proper use is why c++ is so successful, it doesnt make assumptions it leaves it up to the project / community using it. Go ahead make a language that dictates alot and makes srict assumptions it will be depricated or forced to open up before the end of the decade. Notr this is why i think python and lisp is so populare meta programing is very powerful and expressive.

Tooth decay is inevitable unless ur eating meat with water as your diet.
crickey··on Windows 11 calls a zip file a 'postcode file' in UK English
These are localization issues. If the GUI was done in another language then US from start it wouldnt be an issue. Of course sloppy work is bad, doesnt mean it’s inherently bad

Since when?
crickey··on Instead of your Life's Purpose (2021)
What a stupid comment from someone who clearly hasnt read Descartes original meditations. “I doubt therefor i am” is th presupposition doubt in language, doubt in reality, if there is only doubt and nothing else i am.
crickey··on Defining interfaces in C++: concepts versus inheritance
Its only more complex for the programmer because of presumed experiance with polymorphism. Its alot easier to debug a concept because a type either has the function or not there is no overloading or massive inheritance tree where u can easily mistake what is actually being called.

What if they became rich by stealing other peoples rightful inheritance?
