A good point.
We seem to have a lot of super programmers who don't make simple
mistakes ever and know C++ back to front. That's Great!
For myself, after programming in C++ for 7 years (and other languages
before that) I still find myself making coding typo's and discovering
new things about C++. Keeping an open mind is key to getting better.
I bet even Bjarne Stroustrup himself does not know all the pitfalls he
left in the language.
A couple of quotes to put names to:
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
"...it's essential to keep an open mind, and to be willing--better yet,
eager--to try new things."
"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will
insist on coming along and trying to put things in it."
