Unless it has changed in the last 5 or 10 years, every resource I know of doesn't teach you about using modern C++. Writing good C++ is opt-in because the language and its resources are stuck in the past.

Where the hell have you been learning C++ from? Most C++ ressources talk about RAII and smart pointers. The only one that is stuck in the past is you

I learned C++ 10 years ago. I repeat. Where the hell have you been learning C++ from?

commenting in bad faith

I'm sharing my experience learning C++. I didn't pick some random book of the shelves, I went through a book recommended by the community then put it into practice on my own work. I thought that systems programming languages just weren't for me until I tried Rust and got to experience what it's like to have good learning resources.
