Summary
This episode discusses the importance of learning programming languages beyond C++ to become a better C++ developer, drawing an analogy with athletic cross-training. Jason explains that just as runners improve by incorporating swimming or weight training, programmers strengthen their skills by exploring other languages. He references his C++ Best Practices book, which recommends learning another language as a way to stretch your mind, and mentions Connor Hoekstra's channel that showcases multiple programming languages solving the same problem.
