Course code: ZOO-1

Years with company: 3.5

Years programming: 20

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: python, bourne shell, rust

Unit test harnesses: Gtest, unittest

Something else: I have code running inside of people

Test practice now: gtest

Target system: beefy x64

Dev tools: vim, gdb, bazel, valgrind, asan, tsan

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: we use a derivative of the google style guide. I try to enforce additional C++11 feature usage, such as final, unique_ptr, etc.

Function too long: When more than one question is answered.

Code reviews: each file must be marked as reviewed by any reviewer. Typical questions are more about style than design and usually a lack of tests is considered to be OK.

Code time: 30

Test time: 20

Debug time: 50

Favorite thing about dev: interface design and seeing an evolution of clean interconnections

Least favorite thing about dev: debugging hard-to-reach code

Tdd knowledge: Use tests to describe your requirements at whatever level you're aware of them. Whenever a new requirement is uncovered, new tests should follow. Don't write code unless it already has tests describing its requirements.

Why are you attending: I want to become a better, more effective developer.
