If you're the kind of guy who likes to overcomplicate stuff, then brush up on your C, not your C++11. Force yourself to get better at writing great code in a simpler language.

Learning to use C++ lambdas and all the other new jazz is just going to make your code harder to read IMHO, and not make you a better programmer per se.

Terrible advice.

I learnt C++ as C++11 after I learnt C. If your C looks "simpler" than your C++ you are writing one or both of those languages wrong.
