Compile or Die

Step into the shoes of an intrepid software developer who attends the chaotic C++ Standards Committee meeting in Croydon, UK. Your mission? Navigate the intense debates, political maneuvering, and absurdities of the software world. Dive into passionate arguments about type safety, template metaprogramming, and memory management, all while trying to avoid the pitfalls of jargon overload and programmer stereotypes. Betrayals lurk around every corner as you interact with characters who each embody different paradigms of programming philosophy. Choose your alliances carefully; the fate of the C++ language and your career hang in the balance. Will you secure the much-coveted 'Coherent Design' sticker for your team, or will you be relegated to the dreaded role of 'The Feature Implementer'?
