15 Years of C++: Insights for Aspiring Programmers

I'm a video game programmer and I've been using C++ as a programming language for 15 years, and have been writing code in some form for another for over 20 years. Of course in my time as a programmer I've branched out to other languages, but I'd say C++ has been the focus for me across my hobby and professional projects. Seeing an old file made me reflect on my early goals and reminisce about the process of learning and growing as a developer.
