Clear case of a lead dev being B class and felt threatened. I had something like that two years ago. The Bastard pulled out a project of mine (started 2007) and questioned my every design decisions. His criticism was based on stuff available since C++11.
He caught me so effectively off guard, it was pure horror. -
@Yamakuzure ouch, didn't you just tell him that C++11... well, didn't exist prior to 2011?

@Krokoklemme He pushed me into defense so quickly, my brain locked and I felt like a noob halfway through their first C++ book. 😢
But hey, I got the perfect answers that smashed him into smithereens!
