As managers, it’s easy for us to blame our team for missing deadlines. But are slow developers really the reason you’re not shipping on time? A rare case of self-awareness

The C++ past influences a lot its using even for new created projects, and many not C++ developers still thought that this language is very complex. Then it's decided: we must go back in time to fix it!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Totally agree.
I even don't reach the "complexity" adjective, rather the "useless verbosity" first.
A language stick to its features of 30+ years ago...
Just my opinion, though...

More specifically than its past, it's the near backward compatibility with 'C' that causes many problems. This has made it very easy for C programmers to move over to C++ compilers and continue to write C-like code. However, in order to jump from procedural-style C to object-oriented C++ requires a huge shift in the way problem solving is approached. Moving towards a Modern C++ approach requires another adaptation.
Compare and contrast this with picking up an entirely new language with a similar syntax like JAVA and C#, or simply an entirely different language. You simply have to adapt and learn how to do things a different way in these different languages.
The past is not an enemy, and especially for a tool, like C++.
Failure to adapt is the enemy for a skilled professional of any type of technology, or field of study where advances are constantly made.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I just cleaned a rather nasty one off my wifes Laptop.
It was a Fake AV but it also disabled UAC and replaced the Antivirus Service with its own EXE.
It would not allow me to launch any exe that I tried except MS Paint.

Are you absolutely sure you hadn't picked up an Etch A Sketch[^] instead of the laptop?
|
|
|
|

It would allow me to to do a print screen then paste it in Paint to save the screen shot before the next fake error popped up blocking the screen like UAC does.

Users have filled the company’s ears with literally hundreds of wants, but a few stand out from the crowd. Here’s what the people clamor for. No one asked for a pony?

I asked for a pony.
Evidently it wasn't high on their priority.
Whatever.

I asked for a pony but instead I got a mule.
When I raised this as an issue it was closed as "unable to reproduce".

The European Parliament is about to call for the “unbundling” of Google’s search business from the rest of its operations, as one potential way to challenge the company’s market dominance. Stop me if you've heard this one before...
