Why a post with only a link to a C++ FQA is that much high rated? Maybe I missed the point, but everyone with a bit of C++ knowledge already know that website. Suppose I post a FAQ on python, will it be top 10 ? I don't know, the author could have added a bit of explanation.
I figured it is an excellent distillation of what to avoid, and more importantly, why, written by someone with a lot more knowledge on the subject than most and in a style that I thought was quite humorous.
That last bit seems to have been received in a 'mixed' fashion judging by the responses.
