I'm a MUCH better C programmer than this guy is. They treat C++ as if it was C with some class libraries. Having read some of his code, I know what little I do know and the programming practicies I adhere to make me much better at it.
It still stucks. It'll be 6 months of my life wasted. They may pay me well, but they do it becuase I'm productive. Not because I kiss ass and coast.
