Description
This week our main topic is Simplicity and we're joined by Kate Gregory, who will be keynoting CppCon on the subject,
and Jonathan Boccara, whose blog is often focused on pursuing simplicity, too.
We cover how to deal with complexity in legacy code,
e.g. a report function containing thousands of lines of switch statement
(and a 27 step process to add a new report),
what simple code looks like to begin with, techniques that help -
including functional programming and TDD, and some of the limitations of all these approaches.

Sometimes, In The Lightning Talks, I Don't Get The Jokes: Note that this episode was recorded before episode 26, with Rob and Jason, so Jon introduces it as if it was the first after the hiatus - a nd some of the same jokes are made. Sorry about that. Normal service (and ordering) will resume from the next episode. by cpp.chat
