Когда в третий раз за год реализуешь интеграцию ERP с внешней системой и ловишь себя на мысли «мы это уже делали», возникает закономерный вопрос: почему каждый проект на платформе 1С до сих пор начинается почти с нуля?

Это было десятки лет назад. Начиная с С++11, а уж тем более в эпоху С++20, язык стал другим. Разработчику... Read more
