The C++ Programmer's Nightmare: Choose Your Torture

The C++ Programmer's Nightmare: Choose Your Torture
Ah, the eternal C++ dilemma visualized as a horror movie choice! Standing at the crossroads of despair, our poor developer faces two equally terrifying paths: modernize that ancient codebase to C++23 (where templates will still haunt your dreams) or rewrite everything in Rust (and spend the next six months fighting with the borrow checker). Meanwhile, the legacy C++ codebase sits there, held together by duct tape and Stack Overflow answers from 2008. It's like choosing between getting punched in the face or kicked in the shins. No wonder C++ developers have that thousand-yard stare during code reviews.

Actual Estimate By Professional Game Studio

Ah, the classic "two-week estimate" strikes again! Some poor project manager just claimed they can convert a 20-year-old C++ codebase to C# in just two weeks. Anyone who's ever touched legacy code knows that's like saying you'll clean the Augean stables with a toothpick. The king's response is the only reasonable one – crowning this developer as the new reigning champion of unrealistic expectations. This is why we drink so much coffee... and sometimes stronger stuff.

Rewrite It In Rust

Rewrite It In Rust
The great Rust migration aftermath – where your perfectly functional C++ codebase transforms into a post-apocalyptic wasteland of broken parts. That moment when you stare at the carnage thinking, "But the Reddit thread said it would be memory-safe ." Meanwhile, your deadline was yesterday, your boss is questioning your life choices, and somewhere a Rust evangelist is typing "you probably just didn't understand the borrow checker" on a forum. Sure, no more segfaults... because nothing runs at all. Progress!
