I tend to agree with Jeff. The older I get, the less I like having to dig around the code base to figure out what is going on because templated code does tend to be less fun to debug. > > I also dislike auto, except in the case of stl::’s overly-verbose iterators. > Again, they make the code harder to read more often than not. I'm seriously rethinking typedefs as well. I can never seem to remember the type they represent so I have to dig around the source to figure out the actual type. I'm thinking just typing out the full type is easier in the shortened typedefed version which was most likely only created to save some typing. > > Maybe I’m just showing my age….
