This was a great talk!
In a C++ conference, who would have imagined?
Via Adam Gordon Bell:
Kate Gregory has been writing C++ for over forty years. Books, keynotes, a consulting firm she built from the ground up. At sixty-three, she’s one of the most experienced programmers alive.
She surveyed hundreds of software engineers about getting older. What scares you? What’s changed? What have you lost? The things people feared most β memory, stamina, keeping up β weren’t the real threats. The stuff that was actually breaking down was mostly fixable. A bad knee wasn’t aging, it was a torn cartilage. Wrist pain disappeared when she changed how she slept.
