Re-entering the world of system programming from a web development background requires a deeper understanding of C++, Makefiles, and the general expected project structure of modern C++ infrastructure. To reintroduce myself I have begun a small project where I will recreate the std::string class from scratch. I begun this introductory project on May 28 but here is the repo link Github Repo.
This project has been refreshing, using no AI it was just me, the C++ docs, and my own conviction. The satisfying feeling of compiling and running something and no bugs appearing was sorely missed.
