Imagine people still using cube meshes with 12 tris in 2024 😂😂😂

Real people optimize their cubes to only have 6 tris 😎🔥

If you got a code block with a name - why not go all the way and break it out into a named function? This would reduce code complexity.

The real C skill issue is the inability to learn a new programming language.

How often do you find real, user-facing bugs during code review?

Rust vs C++

This word is chaotic and ambiguous. I hate it

i wish there was a better way to do this

For the love of god just use an early return.

if (score >= 90) return 'A';
if (score >= 80) return 'B';
if (score >= 70) return 'C';
if (score >= 60) return 'D';
return 'F';

Stop overcomplicating it.

Instead of using a debugger, which will double your dev time, use TDD, which will half your dev time. Everything you do in the debugger is, in effect, an ad hoc test, so just write the test. TDD will also give you a nice set of runnable examples — live documentation.

Agile elevator pitch (literally).

(exec enters elevator)

exec: what's agile?

me: early delivery of business value.

exec: what else?

me: reduced bureaucracy

exec: sounds good

(exits)

Is it a Unit or Integration test?

Google’s test classification is different:

- Small test: single process
- Medium test: single machine
- Large test: multi machine

I wrote that null pointer dereferencing is a problem in C++, on Reddit, and got downvoted to oblivion.

Why?

The problem with Rust is you have to have suffered under your own large scale mistakes in C or C++ to appreciate it

Back in the day, Google changed their unit testing policy so that all code changes were expected to have unit tests.

This reduced the number of 'emergency pushes' by half (!). Pretty cool!

C++: hold my beer
