    “Core Guidelines are not Rules" by Arne Mertz
    https://arne-mertz.de/2024/03/core-guidelines-are-not-rules/

    “There is a difference between guidelines and rules. Boiling down
    guidelines to one-sentence rules has drawbacks that make your code
    harder to understand.”

    “The famous quote by Captain Barbossa from _Pirates of the Caribbean_
    says “The Code is more what you’d call guidelines than actual rules.” This implies that there is a difference between the two.”

    I like the title "Simpying C++". All are actually very simple: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cscall/files/MisFiles/ClassGuidelines.txt/download
    This is the c++ programming guidelines Tested and Used for 20 years:
    In it, the reset rule can be strict, practical and very useful, and saved lots of programming efforts. All the basics are unbelievably simple, try it to know. There are too much to say about the Core Guidelines. In all, it is an unmatured "draft" from the ivory
    tower, full of words without meaning.

    As long s simplifying isn't dropping useful features that save work ...

    If you don't have a good guidelines like ClassGuidelines (reset rule), your C++ 
    program won't go far because the foundation is likely based on shaky concepts.

    There are too much to say about the Core Guidelines. In all, it is an unmatured "draft" from the
