I was at Lowes today, and they played Taps over the PA system while I was there. They also had a small memorial in the parking lot.

As it's a bank holiday I assume there will be no CCC today.

It can't be a bank holiday.
It's warm, sunny, and not raining ...

Recruiters are people who have failed the integrity test for engineers, the honesty test for politicians, and the intelligence test for bankers, but ask one to trust that they are honest brokers.

I taught myself C++14 and C++17 by writing one core piece of code - my pixel template.
To this day, it's some of the code I'm the most proud of. The things it can do at compile time are pretty impressive.
const auto col = bmpa_color::red;
col.channelr<channel_name::A>(.5);
This for example, sets the alpha channel to make a red color half transparent. It does so in a pixel binary format that is completely arbitrary and user defined, and does so entirely at compile time, yielding a color value with the appropriate binary footprint. All of the bit shifting and other nonsense that makes this possible is all computed by the compiler.
I tried writing an article (actually two, really) on it but I fear it wasn't well understood by people.
C++ template arcana is bloody hard to teach. The only way I could learn it well is practice practice practice until I could intuit the syntax because trying to remember all the rules by rote is extremely difficult if not impossible, at least for my mind.
Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo is still the best book to introduce people to generic programming in C++ in my opinion, but it doesn't teach the newest features, nor does it teach super complicated constructs.
So for starters, just so I can have something to refer people like my buddy to when he wants to learn this stuff, do any of you C++ devs out there have a book to recommend on generic programming with particular emphasis on metaprogramming, type lists and the like?
Also, are there any really useful tricks out there you've learned regarding this type of coding?

Alexandrescu's book[^] was pioneering in this area. While looking for it, I came across this one[^], which seems to be more recent and focused on the topic.
