Titus Winters' CppCon 2017 talk argues for C++ and Google's Abseil to be maintained as a live at head language, relying on testing and automated tooling rather than never changing or promising no compatibility. It covers Hyrum's law and the limits of semantic versioning.
Why HN recommends it: Recommended whenever versioning, semver, monorepos and backward compatibility are debated, for its nuanced treatment of dependencies.
