If someone says they have mastered C++ they are lying.

You don't master C++. Instead C++ masters you.

CppCon 2018 Trip Reports

JeanHeyd Meneide

The Jerk Problem is a very simple one: the larger community seems to value technical excellence over all other values. This means that decency – and being polite during such things as discussion or evaluation – is optional. This is how a lot of people conducted themselves: being successful / making money / having influence somehow justifies their ability to be complete blockheads.
