My experience with C++ was when C++ was a relatively new thing. Practically the only notable feature provided by the standard library, was that unholy abuse of bit shift operators for I/O. No standard collections or any other data types.

And every compiler would consider something else a valid C++ code or interpret the same code differently.

I am little bit prejudiced since then… and that is probably where the author is coming from too.

Then things were just getting more complicated (templates and other new syntax quirks), to fill the holes in attempts to make C a ‘high level language’.

Poland and probably most of Europe. You don’t need a car here for everyday living, so there is no point in giving licenses and care to kids.

Have you ever worked with a computer with modern general-purpose OS like Linux and no RTC? It sucks. It is not strictly necessary, you can live without it, but you need workarounds for basic stuff timestamps in log files or in the file system. At least for a minute until NTP connection is established, but may be longer when internet connection is not available. And when routers are rebooted most often? When troubleshooting broken internet connection. This is also the time when properly timestamped logs could be useful.

And battery backed RTC is cheap. It doesn’t fit on a Raspberry Pi board, but can easily fit into a router case. No excuse for omitting it.

Isn’t that their long national tradition? Like with paper technology, silk technology or porcelain technology?

That is more: how the marketers make ‘their’ product sound good.

Jira was ok until they dropped self-hosting option. Why should I keep internal development data at third party server?

Other Atlassian software, though… oh, what a mess. And it only was getting worse with any new release. I am glad we have dumped it all.

Browser and website developers see it other way: we can care about optimizations even less now.
