This is my second part of the combined trip report for 3 conferences: ACCU, C++ Russia and C++Now, for their 2018 editions that I had the chance to attend. I’ve been over what ACCU is like already, both in terms of contents and in terms of what public they aim at (and therefore, who you […]
Going to conferences is a great experience, to learn about your domain and meet people that work in it. Going to conferences can give you tools to write better code. I’ve had the chance to go to (and speak at) three conferences over a month: ACCU in Bristol, UK at the beginning of April, C++ […]
By guest writer Patricia Aas. If your thoughts automatically went to code reviews when reading the title, you are not alone. However, this post is not about code reviews, quite the opposite. I’m going to ask you to approach other people’s code without judgment, with the purpose of understanding, not evaluating. It might surprise you how […]
Today is Towel Day!! This is the day where we celebrates the iconic piece of geek culture: the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy. In the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy, the number 42 has a central role: it is no less than the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. This is […]
Have you ever struggled to understand a codebase that was bigger than you? Most of us go through this experience more or less often in our career, and this is not a simple thing to do. Maybe you’re in this situation right now. However, even when the code isn’t expressive, there are ways to understand […]
Four… Three… Two… One… Such are the words that resonated across the planet during the last 24 hours (and you’ll keep hearing them all January!) So let me join my voice in and wish you the best for this new year, that it be full of exciting projects and satisfying achievements. And that you […]
Not all the code which is out there is as expressive as what we’d like. And working with bad code can be hard on motivation sometimes. In this week’s video, you’ll see 3 ways to put bad code to use, and learn from it how to write great code! Don’t want to miss out ? […]
One way to write better code is… to read lots of great code! But where to find good code? In this week’s video, I detail how this technique works and several places easy to access to find good C++ to take inspiration of. And yes, you are going to see videos popping up on Fluent […]
I had the privilege to be a guest on CppCast last week. On top of sharing this episode with you, I’d like to take a moment to describe why I think the show can be useful to you as a C++ developer. I’ll share my perspective both as a regular listener and as a guest […]
The Dailies are a practice that changed my life as a software developer. My goal is to make you benefit from them too, so that you get better in C++, help others get better too, and have a real impact on the quality of your company’s codeline. What Dailies are, and why you should do […]
