Yeah, this. One of C++’s biggest problems has always been the number of people who have spent years writing C and think that qualifies them to write C++.
This attitude is one of the main reasons of the C++ shortage though. You are dismissing anyone else's potential to learn and become a C++ developer. I didn't say that I'm a qualified C++ dev, just that I wanted to start learning to be one and get a foot in the door.
