I genuinely love writing C++, and I hope this shit gets resolved. I'll 100% walk away if I think there is a high risk that greenfield projects stop choosing #cplusplus.

Annoying detail about S3's new `If-Match` implementation: these writes can fail with 409 Conflict (docs: docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/lat...)

I guess you're just meant to retry, but it's not clear to me why S3 wouldn't just retry internally. The whole point is that the requests are now idempotent!

profiles does not solve the problem and is effectively vaporware, advocated for by powerful folks

safe C++ solves the problem and has a full implementation you can use right now, advocated for by a relative outsider
