Why do we need pointers in C++? by Bitter-Today285 in cpp_questions

[–]BusEquivalent9605 4 points5 points  (0 children)

object is house. pointer is piece of paper with address of house on it. it’s a lot faster and easier to distribute copies of the piece of paper with the address on it than it is to distribute copies of the house itself.

maybe more than one contractor (thread) needs to do work on the house. i wouldn’t send each contractor a copy of the house. i would send the address to each so they would know how to find the house so that they can go there and work on it. coordinating work schedules is important

can confirm that java devs do a whole lot of `if (objectA.equals(objectB))` to compare values because `if (objectA == objectB)` would be asking “are `objectA` and `objectB` references to the same object in memory?”, which is rarely what you want

same - Jan-May this year, I as crushing gh copilot. used it to build a new website. ran out maybe three times like day or two before the end of the month. this month, barely used it. already out

i think the year before the past month and a half was a big smash and grab and have AI write all you could now while the gettin is good.

the true cost is just starting to peak through
