Looks like North Korea was involved after all

Lessons to learn from Oculus development team when using the “Modern C++” approach. As opposed to your Grandpa's C++

The main issue with that, is:
At what point can I justify to the people paying me money that we need to spend time and money to re-factor code to use modern C++ paradigms instead of adding new features and fix issues.
