Course code: VIAVI-1

Years with company: 12

Years programming: 14 (but a lot less coding lately)

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: Python, javascript

Unit test harnesses: none

Something else: wanna eat healthy, but still love pizza :-)

Test practice now: Mostly through debug statements put into the code.

Target system: home grown linux system with custom processor board.

Dev tools: gcc compiler, custom build and install scripts, sublime text editor,

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: not very well defined. Mostly resolved through code reviews

Function too long: > 20 lines or so

Code reviews: Setup code reviews for all code changes. Can close when at least a couple people have reviewed and comments are addressed.

Code time: 20

Test time: 30

Debug time: 50

Favorite thing about dev: I like bringing the manifestation of ideas into reality. I like the creativity involved.

Least favorite thing about dev: Working with existing code and trying to get things to "fit" cleanly. Trying to understand poor abstractions in existing code.

Tdd knowledge: Its a development process where you write a failing test, write just enough code to make it pass, and then refactor that production code to reduce duplication.

Why are you attending: I want to learn how to get faster feedback on my changes.
