summary
Argues C++ is the practical way to squeeze life out of older hardware by following the zero-overhead principle and using compile-time computing to shift cost off weak clients, with concrete tooling advice: use the terminal and a compiler, keep cppreference.com or Microsoft docs downloaded on-device, run Compiler Explorer on a local network, and share one beefy machine over SSH so phones or cheap PCs compile remotely. The local docs and SSH sharing report being practical and invaluable in the field.
