Open Source C++ Stack

Open Source C++ Stack

C++ is often labeled as "unsafe" and "complex," but I find these critiques unjustified. My experience working on major projects like Chromium, Node, and gRPC — each a non-trivial codebase deployed on millions of devices, both virtual and physical, and subject to rigorous scrutiny—has shown me the true power and reliability of C++. Let's not forget the remarkable engineering feats made possible by C++, such as Unreal Engine. Even Linux and Git, both written in C (arguably even less "safe" than C++), stand as testaments to the robust potential of these languages. There is a trick to writing C++ code…

Case Study – TDD in Node.js Inspector Server and Other Projects

Case Study – TDD in Node.js Inspector Server and Other Projects

Overview Test Driven Development (TDD) is a software development methodology where tests are written before the actual code. The progress of implementation is then guided by the status of these tests. There is often confusion between the terms "automated testing," "unit testing," and "TDD." To clarify: Automated Testing refers to any testing performed by specialized software without requiring manual intervention. This includes various types of testing, depending on the scope (unit/integration) or the metrics being evaluated (correctness, security, load, benchmarking). Unit Testing is a subset of automated testing that focuses on the smallest, independent logical units of code. These tests…
