Comments on: A trip to Berlin I agree, especially on the C++ front. I've hear many comments like your, so I usually reply: have you ever considered to use simple, straight, and in my opinion more elegant, C instead over engineered C++?

Solving a problem in less lines of code is often hard, and requires experience and time too. Travel to Berlin by train and car is cheap because the goverment spend a lot on good infrastructure (highways, rails etc). In my opinion the infrastructures in software (especially C++) are often bloated and over engineered, so developers waste time on creating framework code (roads) instead of elegant algorithms (planes, trains and automobiles).
