CppCon 2018: Jon Cohen & Matt Kulukundis “Touring the Tips of the Week Series”

—

We think this can serve a good purpose in the public C++ ecosystem. The Core Guidelines cover basically everything, and do a good job, but are often only a shallow summary of the topic at hand. Any given TotW, on the other hand, covers a relatively narrow topic in greater detail.

This talk will give a general overview of the series: it's major themes and most commonly cited entries. As such, this talk will hit on things like: understanding copy vs. move, how to use `emplace`, enums and producing readable APIs, how to construct a unique_ptr clearly, and how to structure your unittests.

This was amazing. For every Sutter lecture there need be an Alexandrescu one to maintain sanity/humanity of the mind. Meyers used to be the normalizing antidote, but given his retirement, talks like this might just be the methadone needed to make it to the cure. (Then Lavavej is the guy in the AA meetings that makes you wonder why you ever started in the first place)

It is well know that Socrates was against written word. Now I know why.
