'auto' is underused in C++: it should be considered awesome (not harmful).

I wrote an article about it here:

Looks like you haven't had any thoughts random or otherwise since 2019 which
pretty much dovetails with your posts on here. It is a shame how covid affected
some people.

As far as I know I was never infected by COVID-19 and as far as I know you
are a fucking idiot. I have multiple output streams of which Wordpress is
bottom of the list as far as updates are concerned; I have been more
active on Youtube than Wordpress of late.

Interestingly the link works even though it's broken; Wordpress
evidently goes to the closest match. Sort of like `cd some*` in Windows
Cmd. Which I've never seen documented.

Do post some links so we can have a good laugh at your presenting skills.

This is just a matter of personal taste.
