The big picture: As more employers turn to AI to manage overburdened recruiting pipelines, the debate about its merits – and drawbacks – continues. Some job-seekers opt out of opportunities altogether when robots come calling. Others, resigned to the new normal, accept these digital gatekeepers to find work.

C++26 Reflections adventures and compile-time UML

The first thing I do every time I need to learn a new codebase is to start drawing the UML diagram of its classes, and usually give up soon after I started. The process of doing it manually is certainly useful, but now with reflections I figure it would be fun to try generate it instead. With C++26 reflections[1] the general consensus is that the magnitude of language change is comparable to what happened with C++11. After my little experiment with it, I would cautiously agree.
