nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - if you hopped on a quick call - when you hopped on a quick call - how many quick calls you hopped on - how you made them feel when you hopped on a quick call

Circle is being censored from the C++ reddit. I built a C++ compiler from scratch. I'm documenting my work on extensions that are aimed at keeping it from going extinct. But a mod who works for a commercial vendor is now pulling down posts. This is terrible for free discourse.
