I haven't done anything more than fix builds in C++ projects since... checks notes... 2001. 🙀 But I'm happy to see that the course correction in C++11 has paid off. If I were writing code that had no dependencies and I intended to never share it, I could probably have fun like the author of this essay: https://learncodethehardway.com/blog/31-c-plus-plus-is-an-absolute-blast/
It's usually the build systems and preprocessor abuses that drive me away from others' C++ projects. I just don't want to live like that.
