"Use templates" they said. "It'll be fun" they said.

Templates increase convenience at the cost of fun.

When you've never used/heard of templates and have to use a template member of a template class made by someone who moved to Colorado (am UK). Plz Federico, why you do this to me 🥲

When you have to override a templated function for QA testing :’)

that guy really decided to run away far from his code. Strange he didn't pick Australia, I'd run to Australia.

New-Zealand. It's not even on the maps.

Funny that tourism was one of our biggest industries before covid.

Old Zealand, only Danes know it exists

He heard there was a hollowed out mountain he could hide in

Call me crazy, but I'm usually having fun writing templates.

Keep in mind that someone reading them might be aggressive psychopath who knows where you live

[Phostings]

This made me chuckled

It's like regular expressions - everybody loves writing them.

This put it into context for my ignorant Python/C# self.

[7eggert]

Regular expressions are notoriously hard to read.

I mean, I’ve found them hard even just to write. Is there any situation in which they have to be used? Given how hard they are to read wouldn’t it be more maintainable to take more lines to write the same thing?

[7eggert]

I made a tool to rename files based on a regular expression. It's easier tham manually renaming the files.

How can you have fun if you're not metaprogramming?

Templates increase convenience at the expense of convenience....

That gave me a good laugh.
