This really nice article will help you if the difference between API and SDK isn’t already clear to you.

Using namespaces effectively

As a C++ developer, I am used to using namespace in my day to day programming life, but I’ve never took a deep dive into the best practices and what you can use them for.
Well, with this article, I know now that I have a lot to improve how I, and my team, are currently using this language feature.
It will make our code quality, and our code and interface update much smoother!

if (x = 42)

This article from PVS-Studio talks about the error of assigning a variable instead of comparing it to a value.
It can easily happen, with a small typo, and be difficult to detect, as everything still compiles.
Even though, in years of analysis of open source project, PVS-Studio team founds out that this is an error occuring very rarely.
A very « mind-boggling information » !

Codestral

If you have been connected to the internet in the past 2 years, then you have probably hear about LLM, ChatGPT, and maybe Mistral AI.
The company from that last one released a new model designed to help developers, named Codestral.
In that regard, it seems to be more like Github’s Copilot.
You can for example integrate Codestral into you Visual Studio Code, in order to benefit from it directly in your projects

If, like me, you enjoy listening to music while working, you may enjoy Flowtunes.
This is a really nice app to boost your focus and productivity, as the AI generated music grants you continuous music always renewed.
You can choose the kind of music to be played, customize some nice background noises and you have all you need to a full day, be it for work or just a peaceful day at home.
Personnally, I have been using it this morning for researching and writing this article. This will probably become an habit.

There is also a mobile app.

Freeing resources in destructors

This article from PVS-Studio explains really well why you should be careful about the functions you call from your destructor.
Indeed, calling virtual function can trigger some redundant and inefficient operations, if not bugs.
It is the first time I have seen someone explain it that clearly, with an exemple that you can follow along.

GitHub and JFrog partnership

This news makes me really joyful!
Since I am using the package manager conan which is maintained by JFrog, this means that we can expect some progress in the relation between the services offered by the 2 platforms.

This C++ article talks about how everything in programming is tradeoffs.
Indeed, in order to solve his small design decision, the author has implemented several solutions.
Each of them having their benefits and drawbacks.
A lesson that can be apply to a lot of problems, in my opinion.

This videoconference will probably concern a very few of the people reading this series, but has a lot of value in my professional life, so I want to share it if, by any chance, it brings you value too.
The speaker talks about how we can improve our software production, in the world of software designed for music production, by using the FAUST technology, coupled with the JUCE framework.
A very interesting talk about the nearby future of software development in this area.
