Genuine question, where does te average developer go to learn CPP in 2026? Despite the usual complaints it’s alive and well and Rust will not replace it.

CPP has become infinitely easier to write for me. That’s an exact figure, my total output of usable CPP lines was zero prior to LLMs.

I do however need to at least be able to write basic CPP to evaluate the code I’m generating. It’s just so hard to comb through all the bad and over complicated code out there, bad advice and outdated opinions.

to some degree it is already being replaced:

Since you are already making use of LLMs, you could also ask questions about the code that it produces. I've been asking Google's AI overview and Deepseek while doing my first ever C++26 project, usually not to produce any code but to give advice or list possible approaches to implementing a feature. It's a very slow path, to the point that my project has currently more git commits than lines of code, but I'm convinced that it will pay off in the long run.
