(GlobalCpp) It's Time for better APIs

Description

In this session, we'll use a generic date-calculation algorithm as a starting point for exploring \ and its strong API design. The talk will show how the library's type system makes invalid operations hard to express, why that makes the code both safer and more extensible, and how the same underlying structure appears in other domains as well. Along the way, we'll look at the relationship between types like time_point and duration, and use that to build intuition for designing APIs that reflect the domain's real rules rather than relying on convention alone.
