I think most corporations use Java, probably "primarily" Java too.

This is really cool! But I guess it’s biggest drawback is being unable to deal with case law?

> Either way, the easiest way to look at it is, do parents tell their kids to aspire to become bartenders?

That sounds incredibly elitist and cringey. If I had a child earning six figures as a bartender I’d be very impressed, and even if they weren’t earning six figures but were enjoying life I’d be happy… And taking it from another perspective, I know people who’s parents would be disappointed their children are ‘lowly software engineers’ too. With that sort of attitude you can rarely win.

A manager at an In-N-Out burger restaurant makes more than most developers outside of Silicon Valley ($160000) - and tbh I don’t complain about that because I’ve seen the speed those guys put out burgers in Mountain View on a busy day!

Or suing for a nice pay check - I am not the most Covid-conscious person, but if I had time tracking AND a potentially illegal activity I’d sue

Why does it cause such higher margins?

Yeah I looked at conan and you can specify git projects to install which is nice. I expect vcpkg to be great for a Windows / Visual Studio setup but I'm on Mac/Linux so haven't really looked. Even with Conan I've not found something as nice as gems/pip/npm for ease of use and it's one of the reasons I end up looking at Rust - because cargo is so familiar to me from a Python background.

Edit: I saw a project recently written in C++ and they had subrepos in a `deps/` directory and then linked to those, so it was all manually managed. If I were to make a new project in C++ I think that's how I'd go too.

Someone more experienced at C can jump in and correct me but from my understanding you're correct, you download the files. You could use git to create subrepos for dependencies in a directory in your project, too. When I've asked this question before those were the answers I got.

25kg is the average weight of a 7 year old girl, so I think it’s fair to say the youngest lightest average child in school.

Id be interested what Grade 1 girls are carrying around that’s totalling 5kg - that’s three hardcover undergrad physics textbooks lol. And even if they do combine to 5kg, there’s no evidence it causes any harm to children!
