  This article is too short and shallow to be useful or interesting.

  I thought that this was going to be a play on the phrase, “Don’t trust anyone over 30,” but it’s just a very short piece about Dunning-Kruger aimed specifically at some C++ concepts.

    Remind me why we don’t trust anyone over 30?

      Generally, that recommendation is bullshit.

      Because I’m over thirty and if we sit down and play a game of Battlestar Galactica together I will inevitably be a Cylon and I’ll absolutely throw you out of the airlock. I’m over thirty and I’m a real fucking bastard when it comes to deception social boardgames.

  Looks like the original post (short article?) was in 2010. Thinking of how C++ has evolved since then, I have a hard time believing anyone but the most involved and dedicated C++ developers can really understand all of how C++ works. Heck, even the compilers don’t seem to have a full grasp of C++ these days (at least with regards to modules).
