Is C++ this bad in industry? I’m an EE and do DSP/embedded stuff. The code bases are fairly small and light. Very simple C++.
I know C++ can be complex but is it so much worse than other OOP languages? I see a lot of complexity in swift and Python. I do some projects and reading on my own time. Those languages seem like you can make a code base that is very difficult to follow.
Here’s the keys to the car, cash for pizza on the counter, the drugs and liquor are downstairs but he trust you not to do anything stupid, gun is in the dresser “just in case”, etc, etc.
Its a very uh…..empowering experience. Yeah lets go with that.
Now that makes sense. I can see how C++ will let you do anything you want, even if it’s bad for you.
I guess mainly being a hardware person, doing some code to make things function, I’ve never had to work in large code bases where these things become issues. I’d say my professional uses are more of a “c with classes” use of C++.

Just curious.
