Course code: SP-CPP-3

Years with company: 2

Years programming: 7

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: Python, Bash

Unit test harnesses: GTest

Something else: As a child an teen I disliked computer science. During my physics studies I had to develop software and started loving it. As it is difficult to work as a physicist this becoming a sw engineer was a great way to earn money and enjoy work

Test practice now: We write unit Tests for new code or sometimes modified code. We test our robot software in the lab, where we have a robot emulation or we simulate it in a docker container. These tests are defined in Azure DevOps testplans

Target system: Industrial PC with Debian Linux

Dev tools: Docker Containers VS Code, CMake,

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: Company Internal, inspired by Cpp Core-Guidlines

Function too long: If it does not fit on the screen (I have bad sight, thus <30 lines)

Code reviews: Pull Request in Azure DevOps. Often it is not completely asynchronously but we have a call

Code time: 50

Test time: 10

Debug time: 40

Favorite thing about dev: The struggle for good design: understand a problem and figure out how to cut it in orthogonal pieces

Least favorite thing about dev: Understanding 20 year old > 1000 line functions and the fear of others that improving it breaks it

Tdd knowledge: Write your test first an the implementation second. This improves the design.

Why are you attending: I a conference talk by James, my project leader loves his book, thus I expected a high quality class
