I had a good intuition on how structured bindings worked when C++17 came out. The feature is quite intuitive to use and provides great help. But it is not until recently that I actually read the part of the standard that describes how this truly works under the …

One of our favorite motto in our C++ team at work is: you shall use dependency injections instead of singletons! It actually comes with our unit-testing strategy. If the various components of your architecture are too tightly coupled, it becomes a tremendous effort to deeply test small critical chunks …
