Mateusz Pusz: Software Engineering Is About Tradeoffs (Online-Talk MUC++)

On June, 17th, the MUC++ has the great honour to welcome Mateusz Pusz to their user group. Please RSVP at the MUC++, see https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/MUCplusplus/events/278615707

Speaker:
Mateusz is a software architect, principal engineer, and security champion with more than 15 years of experience in designing, writing and maintaining C++ code for fun and living. He is also a contributor and an active voting member of the ISO C++ Committee (WG21) where, together with the best C++ experts in the world, he shapes the future of the C++ language.

Abstract:
This talk presents a view of a Software Architect. Often there is no such thing as "the best" solution for the problem. In many cases, we have to deal with compromises and accept the downsides of a specific approach.

During the talk, I will present some of the major tradeoffs and disagreements regarding the C++ design. I will also describe a few issues I encounter during the design of mp-units (the modern C++ physical units library) and ask the audience to make a choice between several alternative solutions to the problem.
