I take that as high praise indeed coming from you, Greg.

Is the pool of C++ developers running dry, or are C++ developers getting tired of working for peanuts?

IDK, but I thought they were paid reasonably well. Haven't look into it tho, I work for myself (memo to self: ask for a pay rise) x
Paul Sanders.
If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal.
Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

You know, titles like this are a complete bait and switch. 1 paragraph in, and it's all about financial firms in NYC can't get enough people. I know C++, and I would NEVER live in NYC. Yuck. I have one bucket list thing - I want to see a Yankees game - that's it.
I've seen about 20 years of people writing C++. Usually C programmers passing stuff through the C++ compiler. Whoop-dee-doo. I don't care if it's on an embedded system. You better damn sure think carefully before using that global tag. That tells me all I need to know about your C++ skills.
Trying to explain the 4 pillars to C/Embedded system developers is like beating my head against a brick wall:
Them: "But it's more efficient and faster."
Me: "You are coupling two pieces of code together that have nothing to do with each other. Besides making the system brittle, your code only runs at
startup. Don't do that, bad idea."
Them: <blink> <blink> deer in headlight look.
Then there are the really smart guys (not being sarcastic) that know better, but do it anyway, violating the architecture and injecting multiple bugs into shipping product.

My wife did 502 in 4 attempts last night around midnight. Woke up this morning to a blank Wordle but was sure she did it already so typed in the answer again and got credit for doing it in 1 attempt. Now I am accusing her of hacking Wordle ...and she has become slightly more sexy to me

I have, on more than one occasion been called for an interview for a job that, on paper, seemed like a good opportunity; only to find, during the interview itself (or the workplace tour on occasion), that the workplace was toxic, corrupt, disorganized or just plain bad and that I definitely wasn't going to take the job.
Have you?
- I would love to change the world, but they wonβt give me the source code.
|
|
|
|

I once had :
"Do you have questions ?"
"Yes, a few, thanks for asking. What tool are you using for source control ?"
"Source what ?"
"Mmhh, sorry, I gotta go"

You missed a golden opportunity to be master of the domain. Workplaces like that are in need of someone to lead them out of the dark ages - and that someone inevitably gets paid more.
------------------------------------------------
If you say that getting the money
is the most important thing
You will spend your life
completely wasting your time
You will be doing things
you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things
you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

MMh ... no. Been there tried that. You land in the middle of people who simply do not understand or do not want or whatever, and you end up being the one who does everything because he knows how to while others get promoted. Forget about it.
