Raises hand. Everyone needs to read "Effective C++", which is mostly a book about how not to shoot yourself in the foot with C++. The book is old enough now that the way he recommends writing C++ wouldn't make it into a PR.
So for that reason, I tended to write C+, which is pretty much C+, with some classes.
after rereading effective c++ with a decade away from c++, my main takeaway is that c++ shouldn't ever be used. The title should be "55 reasons to not use c++ for your next project"
