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. D'Oh! | :doh:
