doing graphics research project in the early 2000's this article really struck a cord with me. So many memories, it hard to believe that such a powerhouse of a API could be torn apart by bureaucracy.

A good interview with Bjarne Stroustrup by James Maguire. He discusses the current state of CS graduates and the industry in general.

This advice is priceless:

I've always been interested in the behind the scene's working of memory analysers and this is a great read.

Why do people still dislike C++

Recently this article from Mark Roulo from way back in 2001 made the rounds on reddit. He talks about how difficult c++ is as a language and why it should never be used for a large project. He goes into great detail about his interview questions designed to frustrate the most seasoned of C++ developers and spends a lot of time berating the use of pointers in C++. I have a real problem with kind of article. They focus way to much on the c side of c++ and not the ++ part.
