C++ devs catching strays here. The tweet claims C++ is "easy mode" because the compiler optimizes your garbage code into something performant. Then it drops the hot take that *real* programming mastery is shown by writing efficient code in Python or JavaScript—languages where you can't hide behind compiler optimizations.
The irony is palpable. C++ is notorious for being one of the most unforgiving languages out there—manual memory management, undefined behavior lurking around every corner, and template errors that look like Lovecraftian nightmares. Meanwhile, Python and JavaScript are interpreted languages where you can literally concatenate strings in a loop a million times and watch your performance tank because there's no compiler to save you from yourself.
It's like saying "driving a manual transmission car is easy mode, but driving an automatic requires true skill because you have to be efficient with the gas pedal." The mental gymnastics are Olympic-level.
