Tired of having to add types to your code in C++?
Can't decide on auto vs. no auto?

I have another simple rule in my codebase:
#define used types once at the top, let the compiler figure out the rest and stop caring about details.

With video proof this time!

#cpp

@molecularmusing I have too many questions and I don't even know where to start 🤯
@molecularmusing Hmm, it's not April 1st, so I tried it, but only get a bunch of (expected) compile errors.
Did you turn on the default type is int option from the very olden days?
@rattenhirn Nope, that's not it (but nice idea for a future post ;)).
@molecularmusing @rattenhirn my guess would be that you're using some zero-width-space unicode chars 🤔
@molecularmusing Ah the shitpost folder. Each project needs one :D
@molecularmusing im trying to guess how this is done and totally spacing ;-)
@vfig Haha, everybody loves a good riddle ;)
@molecularmusing I assume the magic is in the double spaces 🤔 gotta try it when I have the chance, that's hilarious and kinda neat.
do you actually use it in production?
@maliusarth This would be *really* cursed to use in production, for reasons you have yet to figure out I guess...
@molecularmusing yeah I figured, the multitude of ambiguities is a lot of fun for sure
@molecularmusing tried it out in godbolt and it didn't work with regular whitespaces
what's the secret sauce? 🤔
