Over the last few years some of the key figures in C++ twitter have adopted a negative & pessimistic perspective which I find incredibly harmful & hurtful.
I am saddened & disappointed that others have chosen to act this way.
You may not realize that you are a leader in the C++ community. But you are. People look up to you.
A culture of constant pessimism, even in jest, discourages newcomers and hurts the morale of those who have made this our career.
