This so much. I'm kinda disenchanted with C++ though. I thought it was the bessst. Now I'm hating all those stupid rules like "The implicit assign operator for std::vector copy all members" or "You gotta declare the parent destructor virtual for the derived to be called".
With C you got values and pointer to values. Nothing else. I'm having conflicted feelings.
This last year has been really good. First job where I am only a dev. Learned a shat ton about modern C++. So 2019 would be my fav year.
However, I think my favorite moment as a dev was when I realized I could go anywhere I wanted as a dev. That small amount of inspiration when you realize, given enough time, you could recreate the universe in code.
At that moment time became the enemy of ambition.
