Reproducible Developer Environments in C++ - Michael Price - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022
Getting a developer environment properly configured for your projects can be time-consuming and error-prone. Too often, the requirements are not clearly defined, are simply outdated, or make assumptions about the existing environment. Getting it slightly wrong can result in failures that are difficult to diagnose and could take days or weeks to discover. Working with multiple projects that have potentially conflicting requirements can make multi-tasking a chore. From getting the wrong version of GCC installed to requiring a specific version of an operating system, there are so many things that can stop a developer in their tracks.
This talk will describe the criteria we can use to determine the effectiveness of a solution to these problems, apply those to historical techniques, and will present a deeper look at two modern solutions, GitHub Codespaces and Microsoft Dev Box.
