Hi James,

Your post was really insightful and thanks for describing your tech stack. I am 3rd year CS undergrad who is planning to get into C++ Development. The problem is that I have gone through atleast 2 books and have learnt the basics of C++ (pointers, classes, standard implementation of common ds & algo), but I still can’t figure out are enterprise level softwares coded in C++. I tried to explore the codebases of MongoDB, KDE & right now even Folly, but they’re beyond my understanding :O

James, can you suggest me a learning path or advice me on simple projects that I can undertake to actually start contributing to C++ OS and write production quality code.
