  • Keeping up with the language

    Learned about this podcast a couple of years ago at Cppcon, and have been listening ever since. I enjoy the quick summary of things happening in the language followed by a more in-depth interview.

    Jan 2023: so nice to see this podcast return with Timur and Phil!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Software development in a world of AI
Q: How can we make AI agents write better C++ code?
One approach is to implement reinforcement learning focused on coding quality and to use best practices as a constitution for coding agents.
Software development in a world of AI
Q: Is generative AI going to put us out of work as software developers?
Very unlikely. Every advancement we've had in software engineering has ultimately resulted in more demand.
Teaching and Training Modern C++
Q: Why is mentoring important in the coding process?
Mentoring consists of three parts: theory, practice, and mentoring. It's about supporting the learning process continuously.
Teaching and Training Modern C++
Q: What does modern C++ mean to you?
For me, it's starting with C++11 and ends kind of with C++17.
Psychology and Starting Out as a Developer
Q: What led you to transition from a software development role to studying psychology?
I became fascinated by human behaviors while working as a developer and noticed how much they impacted coding practices and software quality, prompting me to study psychology for deeper understanding.
