I agree with jacquesm--see the humor, but take it as cautionary. I did 12 years of C++ and it helps to take the 20% cut. If you look at google's coding standards you can see the restrictions that they put into place.

Few modern languages get as much criticism as C++, and I think rightly so. It is very complex, and takes way to long to master.

Think of the FQA as a survival guide.
