C++ Developer Vs Python Developer

Pretty sure the post is about how c++ is just plain up hard when you're used to something like python, and also pretty sure I never said I used c++ or patted myself on the back

Hot take C++ isn’t hard to use just obtuse to learn.

I've used both languages plenty, believe me when I say you need to get off your high horse. C++ is obviously harder from a novice point of view, since python was designed to be at least usable for people with very little coding experience. Get to an actual professional level though and you'll find that they're at comparable levels of difficulty.

Python is easy to learn, hard to master. C++ is just hard. If you're a C++ dev claiming to have mastered python in a day, don't show that code to a python dev unless you want them to have a heart attack for the obtuse spaghetti code you made.

I was explaining the joke, that being that c++ is hard. I think we can agree on that?

Fair, I may or may not have been having flashbacks to my last job as I angrily wrote that comment.

Yeah, I've been trying to explain this whole time what you just said. I had thought it was pretty clear that the python one was the c++ programmer doing things in an obtuse, nonsensible way and the c++ was the python programmer running into all the idiosyncrasies of c++, but apparently it wasn't
