π‘ Doors open 18:30
π Intro and admin 18:50
π£οΈ Talk by Greg Law (π start at 19:00)
Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. With the new generation of time travelling debuggers it doesn't have to be that way! Time travel lets you see exactly what your program did: full memory + registers for every line that executed. There are open-source and commercial products available today for C++ that work with code at scale.π Food will be provided, let us know if you have dietary requirements
