I like to watch Formula 1 and NASCAR races. As interesting as seeing the cars pushing the limit of materials and mechanics is just as interesting seeing them crash. It shows the flip side of design. I wish this sunny-side tutorials had at the end of their books some black pages with the hall of horrors. Weird compilation messages and pointers getting demoted and random segfaults in real scenarios. We all remember the inverted wings in the F1 cars and vehicles literally taking off when the body loose close contact to the ground. Now in NASCAR the roof flaps come off when the car gets slight bump and the front wheels loose traction. C++ Is not a risk averse language.
