tbqh kazinator is manifesting the bare minimum of Caring to be trusted with C++ code as a developer. If you aren't prepared to get into bizarre pseudo-legal arguments with collaborators about language specifications you are going to be happier somewhere else in the software industry.

I do not say this as someone who believes this represents healthy behavior or that wants to write C++ for a living. They've been like this since #C on EFNet and FreeNode were a thing 30+/25+ years ago. My guess is they got the behavior from Usenet or something but I didn't hang out there so I don't know first-hand.
