My “Scaling with C++ 11” talk is online. It’s really great to see yourself in video because everything bad about your presentation becomes obvious. I already have a lot of ideas to improve this one and I hope I can deliver something much better at Meeting C++. I hope to see you there!
In my C++ Now 2013 presentation, I talked about the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird as an example of how you sometimes go around problems by “leaking”:
> Hope you guys are enjoying C++ Now! We use Boost.Spirit for all our parsing and generation. What I mean by that is that when you have to parse input or generate output, we don’t use std::stringstream, we don’t use the C libraries and we definitely don’t write custom parsers or generators.
We don’t actually have “coding rules” at Bureau 14, at least, not in the sense you would expect them. One one hand, we think it’s best to give as much freedom as possible to the developers and prevent rules to get in the way of evolution.
