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 — memory, stamina, keeping up — 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. — § —Reply via email#bestof #dev #serenity %commentary
