Crazy Code, Crazy Coders
summary
A rapid survey of concrete, production-proven errors and fixes: sanitized real snippets that crashed missiles, GPS and municipal systems, plus everyday bugs like uninitialized floats, wrong loop idioms, iterator vs index pitfalls, and broken range‑for usage. Demonstrations use C++17 and C++20 features, show immediately-invoked lambdas for safe initialization, and dig into floating-point pitfalls and iterator-based fixes, ending with practical coding rules and readable examples that either save or wreck systems.
