~80% of the code I write is in C#. The other ~20% is in C++. Whenever I have to switch from C# to C++, it takes me quite a while to mentally “shift gears” to thinking in C++. I make simple mistakes using pointers and memory allocation that I would not have made when I was in university. After the adjustment period, I am fine and writing in native code comes naturally.

Is this normal? Does anyone else experience something similar and if so, what do you do to cut down on the time this wastes?

Edit: I’m not saying that I cannot work with memory allocation and pointers. I comfortably use them often in my C++ code. Just not immediately after working in C# for long periods of time.

    I have the same problem. I use completely different color schemes for Visual Studio (dark-on-light for C++; light-on-dark for C# and VB).

    Seems to help my brain ease the switch.
