First a few weeks of vacation, working during summer is basically vacation because noone wants anything not urgent done.

Then hunting season when I’ll have my actual vacation.

No chainsaw in the world can prevent you from chopping your leg off. Modern ones have a kickback bar, safety throttle, chain catcher, centrifugal clutch etc making it harder.

C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you did not know rope could do that you should have read the manual.

It’s like a chainsaw with all the bells and whistles but all the safety features removed. Sure you can chop wood with it really fast and probably stone too if you #include diamondteeth library, you can even hammer in nails if you #include hammer. But you are alone responsible for your safety and it’s probably not the best tool for any given job.
