10 Things Junior C++ Devs Don't Get
summary
Argues that the missing specifics are algorithmic math and concrete practice: read Alexander Stepanov on STL design and older algorithm histories, treat generic programming as algorithms over properties not just templates, stop reflexive use of shared_ptr and prefer the right ownership model, distinguish efficiency (work/algorithms) from performance (data structures), apply RAII and noexcept for exception safety, write documentation and learn CPU memory and cache effects on real code.
