“I haven't seen a less useful article about C++ in a long time, and as an HN reader, that's really saying something.”

The tone of all your comments reads as oddly intense imho. Perhaps not your intent. Opinions may vary.

Yeah that’s fine. The whole piece is an opinion piece on what someone thinks is a good approach to C++ development. There is no value in hedging every single bullet point with a bunch of flourish imho.

In game dev C++ circles nothing in this list is particularly controversial. It’s just writing down what many/most devs already did.
