Simplicity in C++ Code (Podcast)

Published July 20, 2018 - 1 Comment

Last week, Jon Kalb and Phil Nash, the organizers of C++Chat, invited Kate Gregory and I on the show to discuss “Simplicity” in C++ code, and in designing code in general.

We had a very interesting discussion, that includes topics such as:

  • how to measure complexity,
  • coupling in code,
  • levels of abstraction,
  • the hard decisions between sane encapsulation and over-engineering,
  • how to choose where to invest refactoring efforts,

As well as a round of news, in particular related to CppCon, since it’s a major event in the C++ community, and coming up very soon.

If you haven’t listened to it yet, I’d like to share this episode with you!

You can listen to it during commute or while doing whatever, or, if you’d prefer to put a face on a voice, watch the video of the debate.

I’d love to hear your reactions, be there on my stances or the others’ (I’ll pass on your comments), and hope you’ll find the debate as thought-provoking as we did while having it.
