​How to Declare a Constant in C++ || Mikhail Matrosov, Tech Lead, Pinely
​C++ is fascinating in the way that even the simplest things can turn out to be unexpectedly challenging and complex. You might think that nothing could be easier than declaring a constant — right?
​As it turns out, this task is surprisingly tricky to get right. In this talk, we will explore constants in different contexts: local variables, global variables in .cpp files, headers, and module units. We will examine how specifiers such as static, constexpr, and inline affect the generated assembly and binary files. Finally, we will establish concrete guidelines for declaring constants correctly.
​Vibe Coding for Faster Onboarding || Pavel Filonov, Founder, AI Agency
​Do you remember your first day on a large C++ codebase? How long did it take you to get a successful build in a fresh development environment — 15 minutes, an hour, a day? My worst onboarding took three days from git clone to a green build. I spent that time wrestling with dependency installation, tweaking build configurations, and even patching code so it would compile on macOS instead of Linux. After that ordeal, I made improving our development documentation my next task—anything to spare future teammates the same pain.
​Today, there’s a better way: vibe coding with AI-powered coding agents. Paired with high-quality documentation and specialized tooling, these agents can guide new developers through complex C++ projects, dramatically accelerating their first builds and boosting overall productivity.
