Cracking Collaboration: Problems and Solutions for C++ Development
summary
Demos show reproducible workflows: a repository spins up a GitHub Codespaces cloud dev environment in ~60 seconds (Linux only, GitHub-hosted), while a centrally managed Microsoft Dev Box requires an admin-created Dev Center, network, image definition and pools but enforces Azure AD, Windows images, compute and cost caps. Real-time debugging uses Live Share (temporary access, up to 30 people) — a 2048 save bug gets fixed live — and build consistency comes from CMake Presets + vcpkg. GitHub Copilot claims ~46% of file content and 55% faster coding.
