This excites me; lots. I am in desperate need of a life.

Here be dragons: These gnarly corners of the coding world can be formidable foes, even for seasoned pros "Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!"

Uh, you misspelled "VAX" there.

C++17 gives us std::variant<> which allows for a new form of stack-based runtime polymorphism. C++ is now stealing language ideas from VB6?

C++ is losing it's C++ness. Instead of a handful of powerful tools kept together by the strong minds of developers it's becoming a jungle of semi-useful scraps kept together by the fact that it has a good history.

Easy solution: simply don't use the new features. Then, it's just the same as the old c++

Yes, of course  some features are pretty nice though. When I will be able to switch from VS6 (yes, the 1998 one), and to do so I would have to rewrite a custom addin plus the brain of my boss, I will discover a whole new world of functionality. Including a functional STL...

That's what I said in 2010 when C++11 (C++0x at the time) was hitting the big time. Three years later, I was working on a project which suddenly had to be compiled in VS 2008 and 2010. I was quite surprised at how much C++11 I'd adopted. Interestingly, the same thing happened with C++14 and C++1z (C++17), though in the latter two, finding workarounds proved a whole lot more painful (constexpr, type_traits, range based loops and static_assert are so useful, not to mention lambdas, thread, filesystem and even auto [makes dealing with iterators so much easier].)

I started working in 2006, a decade ago. Such milestone inspired me to look back and point at the mistakes I did, and the kind of advice I wished someone from the profession had told me. "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes."

It takes ten years to make 10 years of experience. There's no other way.

I always try to find someone smarter, than me and reach his level, it's the way I grow

As an 11 or 12 year old, it was abundantly clear that people of my grandparents' generation were happier and more relaxed than those of my parents. From that point onwards, I've had just the same philosophy towards all things in life I approach. Find someone more skilled and emulate, then become, that which I value.

Starless and alone, it’s screaming through space at 2,000 kilometers per second—and it may never stop. Won't someone think of the children?

In space, no one can hear you scream! [^]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's ok - each ex will assume I'm talking about the other one.
