The Time Needed to Write “Effective Modern C++”
Is this guy actually writing C++ programs in the wild?  He often presents himself as an apostle in the C++ church, but, I am always surprised that he does not seem to apply his guidelines into any practical project of his.As a programmer, I'm suspicious when people have opinions and give advice but never showed me more than snippets of code.  Like a master tailor that wouldn't sew.  How come he gets that much recognition and respect?I would be much more inclined into accepting advice from someone like, say, Carmack, that has successful projects in C++ under his belt.  (Many people consider Doom 3's code beautiful C++, yet, the choices made there are very controversial, and far from "modern".)I also put Bjarne Stroustrup in the same category.What do you think?
