Drinking from the Fire Hose: Keeping up with the evolving landscape of C++
summary
C++ standards accelerate from C++98 to C++20: ~760 → ~1800 pages, so practical survival means adopting concrete habits: track names like RAII, CRTP, RVO, SFINAE to search effectively, use curated filters (conferences, podcasts, GitHub repos, blogs) rather than trying to read everything, and force understanding by teaching or writing—learn by teaching or writing—which exposes gaps and solidifies what to adopt, deprecate, or prototype in real projects.
