I like the title "Simpying C++". All are actually very simple:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cscall/files/MisFiles/ClassGuidelines.txt/download
This is the c++ programming guidelines Tested and Used for 20 years:
In it, the reset rule can be strict, practical and very useful, and saved lots

There are too much to say about the Core Guidelines. In all, it is an unmatured "draft" from the ivory
