As another comment points out down in the thread, that's already a problem today with programs storing their config and data in a fixed location. On the other hand, sqlite supports concurrency and ACID transactions, so it might actuall

This was a great read, thanks! I've naively tried to stop too many beans-and-noses situations in the past.

Can't you do the same in C? You don't really need any headers, you can just declare function prototypes yourself

Not the person you replied to, but like them, I too liked to draw imaginary maps when I was a kid, mainly of medieval towns. I also tend to like the world-building aspects of strategy games, arguably more than the actual strategy parts. Cit

There was a similar CppCon talk[0] in 2018. Highly recommended (by me, fwiw), as is any other talk by Richard Powell 0. https://youtu.be/Grveezn0zhU

Even then, a new user account doesn't necessarily mean a new user. Every time I start on a new job, I have to click through Slack's, Github's and many other dev tools' stupid guided tours for the hundredth time

FWIW I like Level 2 Jeff more and I would watch the videos with or without the clickbait-y titles. As you've said I've never found your titles deceptive so if they bring you more money, then more power to you
