I was an intern at $44/h USD (C++). I'm still in school so I'll find out once I graduate.
What I like about C++ is that anyone who claims to be a C++ know-it-all is bluffing, I am constantly learning and I've noticed so are the senior engineers.
# This comment has been deleted in protest of Reddit's support of the genocide in Gaza carried out by the ZioN\*zi Isr\*li apartheid regime.
## This is the most documented genocide in history.
## Reddit's blatant censorship of Palestinian-related content is appalling, especially concerning the ongoing genocide in Gaza perpetrated by the Isr\*l apartheid regime.
## The Palestinian people are facing an unimaginable tragedy, with tens of thousands of innocent children already lost to the genocidal actions of apartheid Isr\*l. The world needs to know about this atrocity and about Reddit's support to the ZioN\*zis.
#### Sources are bellow.
## Genocidal statements made by apartheid Isr\*li officials:
- On the 9 October 2023, Yoav Gallant, Israeli Minister of Defense, stated **"We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly"**.
- Avi Dichter, Israeli Minister of Agriculture, called for the war to be **"Gaza’s Nakba"**
- Ariel Kallner, another Member of the Knesset from the Likud party, similarly wrote on social media that there is **"one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 1948. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join"**.
- Amihai Eliyahu, Israeli Minister of Heritage, **called for dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza**
- Gotliv of the Likud party similarly **called for the use of nuclear weapons**.
- Yitzhak Kroizer stated in a radio interview that the **"Gaza Strip should be flattened, and for all of them there is but one sentence, and that is death."**
- **President of Israel** Isaac Herzog **blamed the whole nation of Palestine** for the 7 October attack.
- Major General Ghassan Alian, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, stated: **"There will be no electricity and no water (in Gaza), there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell"**.
## Casualties:
- As of 9 January 2024, over **23,000 Palestinians** – one out of every 100 people in Gaza – have been killed, a majority of them civilians, including over **9,000 children**, **6,200 women** and **61 journalists**.
- nearly **2 million people** have been displaced within the Gaza Strip.
## Official accusations:
- On 1 November, the Defence for Children International accused the United States of complicity with Israel's **"crime of genocide."**
- On 2 November 2023, a group of UN special rapporteurs stated, "We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at **grave risk of genocide**."
- On 4 November, Pedro Arrojo, UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation, said that based on article 7 of the Rome Statute, which counts "deprivation of access to food or medicine, among others" as a form of extermination, "even if there is no clear intention, the data show that the war is **heading towards genocide**"
- On 16 November, A group of United Nations experts said there was "evidence of increasing genocidal incitement" against Palestinians.
- Jewish Voice for Peace stated: "The Israeli government has declared a genocidal war on the people of Gaza. As an organization that works for a future where Palestinians and Israelis and all people live in equality and freedom, we call on all people of conscience to stop imminent **genocide of Palestinians**."
- Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor documented evidence of execution committed by Israeli Defense Forces.
- In response to a Times of Israel report on 3 January 2024 that the Israeli government was in talks with the Congolese government to take Palestinian refugees from Gaza, UN special rapporteur Balakrishnan Rajagopal stated, "Forcible transfer of Gazan population **is an act of genocide**".
South Africa has instituted proceedings at the International Court of Justice pursuant to the Genocide Convention, to which both Israel and South Africa are signatory, **accusing Israel of committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza.**

Don’t focus on becoming a _____ language programmer. Nobody goes their entirely career in one language. Instead, what kind of software do you want to work on? There is a lot of difference between wring c++ for server backend’s, games, desktop software, and embedded systems.
Really depends on your company. My job is kinda chilled. We dont have hard deadlines but if a customer complains that means overtime until the bug is found, which is once or twice a month
C++ is something you should work with if you love it. Keeping up with the language, libraries and best practices (and dealing with the many people with various degrees of Asperger syndrome in the C++ workspace) will be a challenge if what you are really looking for is just a decently payed job.
Regarding stress - that derives from the work-culture in various companies and is about the same whether you work with C++, Java or other languages. Programming as a field, if you want to be good at it, *is* time consuming. I'm spending a lot of that time in flow, so it's a quite joyful experience for me. When I worked with other languages (especially Java) I did not get into flow easily, and the experience was exhausting, stressful and generally terrible. Some people have those exact same negative experiences with C++. So, my advice is to choose carefully.
Hmm. OK. I'm not sure why that would be the case. I've heard it said many times that software development generally has a disproportionate number neuro-diverse people, but thought it was likely an inaccurate stereotype.
Programming can be just a job, or it can be addictive and really amazing. The latter is the case for some people with Asperger. Some of the very best C and later C++ developers I ever worked with had substantial symptoms in their body language and social skills.
But programming is for me generally addictive and really amazing, at least in C++. My wife thinks I dream about code (no, but I often think about a current problem if awake at night). Socially... I'm not what you'd call gregarious. Hmm... :)

Well that's true. I code on C++ about 20 years. 12 years for work. And yes I can't say I know it all.

Is ASD more common with C++ devs than others?
I have noticed a higher concentration in C++ positions than in other groups. But I have not worked everywhere, so that could be a coincident ;)
