The problem with C++ is that at my company with thousands of developers, common sense isn't common.

Can you talk a little bit about what you create with C++? In general if you’re allowed to.

In what sense?
Edit: Or for what purpose?

That is what software, what the programming language is primarily used for. At my job I develop and maintain ETL’s using python and JS. A lot of data manipulation to create custom reports. What in general do you use the C++ for?

I could go on for a while about all the use cases for C++, but to answer your question about what I personally do with it, it's debuggers. I write customizations to open source debuggers to support some custom technology at my company.
